Not in the best shape, but, *probably* OK. You can burn the old ones out, but, it smells REALLY bad.

I have a respirator. I'll ta,e the shackle into a few suspension shops and see if they can locate the proper bushings for me.
I found a guy on YouTube pressing just the shackles specifically.
I wanna do it too 😪

You can order the bushings separately. You can get the standard rubber, or go with polyurethane.
Lower stress option is to order shackles with the bushings mounted.

Do you think that you could shoot me a link for some rubber ones.
I have some new replacement shackles coming hopefully they'll be correct.
but I've like too rebuild my old stock shackles with new bushings.

Thanks man

I always use rock auto first. Summit has good supply of performance parts if you want poly bushings.
I wasn't sure of your truck year or engine, so used 2005 Hemi for this search:
