I'm rebuilding a set of 2.5 Fox rear shocks and just got done replacing the upper and lower bushings where the shock mounts to the truck and that was a HUGE PIA. Not sure if anyone has tried this but man was it a nightmare. Its a rubber bushing with a metal inner sleeve but when you press the bushing in, it just squishes out and does not want to go in. Major muffin top. What are your thoughts on using a 2 piece polyurethane bushing? From what i can tell King, Icon, and maybe the Fox 3.0 use a shperical bushing/bearing in the lower mount so i can't see how using a poly bushing in the 2.5's would hurt anything. I ended up getting them in but in the future it would be a lot easier to just press in a solid poly bushing instead. thoughts?
