check out energy suspension. they have a lot of universal bushing that will fit the truck. and you can pick some of them up at your local autozone.

Poly busings will also make your truck handle butt loads better, but you will feel more bumps on the road.
When does the squeek/s happen? My mustang had squeeks and it was actually the outer tierods that were squeeking from being dry.

if you get new bushings, before you install them apply some motorcycle chain lube to them. helps get them on and makes them squeak resistant!

i have had a squeaking noise, and its not the stuts ball joints and the bushing should be fine, and also my tie rods are bad, u think that could be a squeak? it squeaks over the bumps, but when i pick my tuck up and rock it myself it dont squeak at all....
