Default trailing arm rebuild

Ok I have taken my bent trailing arm off and completly disasembled it so I can rebuild a new one useing my bearings and stuff. My question is do you guys know of a place that just sells like a whole bushing kit? Pretty much all of my bushings look like 30 year old rubber should look, so i want to just replace them all, both sturt rod bushings, trailing arm bushings, the bushings where the spring connects to the trailing arm..... I can find them all sepreatly, and I figure if Im goin to do it I might as well go with the poly ones, but they add up fast if you buy them sepratly, So i just figured some one must sell a whole kit. Im only doing one side, but if the kit comes with both sides not a big deal becuase im sure those bushings are all shot too. Thanks for any info.

Summit and other vendors sell a "hyperflex" kit from Energy Suspension that's reasonably priced - it has everything except the motor mounts. Poly may not be the best choice for the T/A bushing, though. Lots of threads with the pros and cons of that bushing in the Archives.
