Default To replace Shackle Bushings or Whole Shackle with Bushings

Ok. So im installing a 3.5 Rubicon Express lift with full leaf packs. I want to replace my shackle bushings while im down there. But I hear its a b*tch to do. Id rather not D*ck around and just replace the whole shackle with bushings already installed. Money is not an issue. Id rather save time and frustration. 4WD.com has an OEM replacement by Crown for like 14bux a pop. Will replacing the Shackle and bushing entirely really be what I hope it to be (quick n easier than messing around with the bushings) HELP

if they are 14 bucks, just get the new shackle. but i would rather change it out with a poly bushing myself. it is not that hard. just annoying

That's a great price. The bushing alone from NAPA is $32. Too bad they don't carry MJ shackles for that price (or at all)
