Default Shock Bushings

I installed a rough country budget boost with the rx shocks and one was leaking so i called rough country and had them ship me a new shock. The problem is that it did not come with any shock bushings. Is there any way to easily remove the bushing from the leaky shock and install it in the new one? or should i go out and purchase some new bushings. Im asking this because i have heard that a while ago rough country was sending out bad shock bushings with their shocks and im not sure if mine or bad. If its possible i would like to go ahead and replace all of the bushings and just be done with it. Any input would be appreciated thanks!

I installed the RC 2.2 shocks well before the bushing failures. But, two of mine were missing the bushings. I called RC and they over-night expressed them. I haven't had a problem with any of my bushings. If you haven't solved this yet, I suggest you give RC a chance.

you can buy shock bushing seperate. my local 4wheelparts has em from energy suspension. I had a set of pro comp es9000's that the bushings failed, and thats what they gave me as replacement. any decent autozone or advanced auto should have em.

Funny, I had a set of Procrap ES9000's also.

I hated those shocks and yeah, the bushings were toast. Love my Perf. 2.2's though!
