Default leaf spring bushings "diy" or shop ?

what ya think ?
replacing the bushings also got some new bilsteins to put on

I'd need to get a "removal-install tool"
but...if youve done this..is it "worth" the time ?
or jus have a shop do it

cuttin out the oem bolts,u bolts ?,etc
you know what a "fun" job this is.
spend the time or the $

Depends on which you have more of. Time, or money.

If the bushings aren't bad, I would just leave them in there.

Do you have a press to change the leaf spring bushings? Without one you are pissing in the wind the wrong way. It took me a full day to change out just the springs and the shackles.
