replacing bushings in the rear leaf springs ?
if you've done it before...you know what a "fun" job it is.
cuttin out the oem bolts,etc,etc

buy the "bushing tool" and do it myself ?
or jus have a shop do it
also got some new bilsteins to put on at the same time
not sure if the u bolts will survive.

ya think its "worth it" to take probably a whole weekend doing this diy ?
versus the cost of shop...jus gettin it done

what ya think ?

Really all depends on how much you make, how much you value your time, how much the experience is worth to you, how much they'd charge you to do it, how comfortable you are with doing the job.

Personally I'd try to research it up and do it myself if I thought it was within my ability to do, but then my weekends are pretty boring at the moment and I have way more time than I do money. Plus I like the life experience, in my life nothing is more valuable than life experience.
