Default Can I ........

Just replace the bushings in my stock shackles besides replacing the hole shackle. If so, what size do i need to order? I am probably going to try and get some from daystar unless anyone else has some good suggestions.

Its a 98 4.0l auto with 4.5" lift and 32's 8.25 rear if this matters

I know i need some aftermarket ones but can't afford them right now.
These are popping and creaking like crazy.

Thanks All

I haven't had any luck finding a replacement bushing for a stock shackle, not even at the dealer.

do you think i could just take the bolt out and grease it up and install it again.
i dont think there is any problem with the bushing, it is just making a lot of noise, like the rubber is just drying out (that could be a problem though)
if i could do that i would put that saved money towards a bumper or sway bar QD's
Thanks
