Default Advice on bushing kit

Has anyone purchased a full bushing kit. I have a 2006 1500 slt quad cab 4x4, about a year ago i started hearing squeaks from my front left and now it sounds like all four corners so i'm thinking about getting an entire kit. From what i read rubber needs to be pushed in with a press and polyurethane can be done easily by hand and as long as they're greased won't squeak. But the polys do need regreased eventually and with there not being any grease fittings on the suspension components that isnt really possible. What has everyone else done for replacements or has anyone purchased an entire kit, what brand, rubber or poly, need some advice thank you.

I looked at kits and decided that the pressing in and out was not worth the extra time. I just bought upper control arms with ball joints and bushings. Moog CK series (lifetime warranty). I am going to rebuild my entire front end. The cost was $260. When I looked at the bushings and ball joint cost, it was only an additional $100 for the entire control arm. Meh....a few extra bucks, lifetime warranty and a big time saver. So, I am going with piecing the front end together with Moog.

Actually, their website is http://www.moog-suspension-parts.com...ign=MoogSearch

This site gives an explanation of R, K, CK codes
