Hey R3D, I'm in a similar situation. I'm replacing my axle and all the RLCA bolts are siezed in the bushing sleeves. I'm going to heat up the bolts and air hammer them out, so there won't be much bushing left anywhere.
I've ordered a complete Prothane rear poly kit, but you're suggesting I don't swap out all the bushing's for poly? I've heard that before about the uppers, so should I leave them alone all together and keep the stock rubbers (with 90K on them)? And the lowers; which end would I replace with poly and which with rubber, or just go poly on both sides cause my original will be torched?
While i've got it apart, should I take the time to box up the upper and lowers?
Should I ditch the quad shocks if I switch to poly?

That is a bunch of Q's ain't it. I'm rolling a 99 5.4/auto, eibach springs, kyb gr-2 front/rear dampeners, 255r17's front/rear. Daily driver in Cleveland ohio (kinda like off-roading when on the roads). I'd like it tight, but I don't want to sacrifice my liver for it.
