I've had this under control for a long time now.

I have my doubts as this will be a complete solution.

I don't think they are replacing the bushings, but putting the new ones over the old ones. There is hope that this is the cure, even 95% of the time would be great.

The rear end cooks itself to death so I'm not to confident this will help with its longevity. It will keep it more stable though which should help it survive longer than the stock tires.

Whatever they are doing must be better than it was - I am doing it more b/c it says it will improve handling as well. Already had my dealer order the parts - They should be here in about a week.

Word. Already ordered mine too. Sewell said that they should be there in about a week. I can't wait till these get installed. First thing I plan on doing is powershifting into 2nd. We will see how much this really helps

I'm goning to go in to my dealer tomorrow, my rear is loud and there are a few rattles from the rear deck area. Last time I was there, they said I was too aggressive off the line. I want to see what they have to say now.
