Bushing replacement for 87

Is there a brand and type of bushings for my 1987 that anyone has experienced. Bushings are original. Starting to fail. I have the Z52 and would like to keep my same ride comfort. I have KYB shocks, which I have liked them better then the Bilsteins I had before. Would you install poly bushings or rubber?

I need to do the same, and I believe poly is the only option for many of the bushings.

You can use poly or heim joints for the rear, and poly, delrin, or heim joints for the front.
I dont think they make delrin for the rear.

There may be a blend of poly and something else. I am going to investigate. Some poly has failed at an early stage. Can also change your ride for the worst. Look how long our original rubbers lasted. I changed all the rubbers on my doors, windshield and hatch and can tell it will not last like the original.
