Anyone know where to get suspension shackle bushes and bolts, and can you get greasable bolts for WT sierra? Is it better to use standard rubber or is ones like polythene better? Im after 24 bushes and 12 bolts

The rubber bushes are better in respect of flex, ride and price over the poly/urethane bushes. The only aspect of the poly/urethane that is better is their longevity over rubber. There is no greasable bolt for the Sierra as there isn't enough meat on the bolt, however you can get greasable shackles.
In my shop a full rubber bush kit is $37.00 (inc. 16x shackle bushes, 8x fixed eye bushes, 4x fixed eye bush spacer tubes). The greasable shackles are $75.00 a pair and fixed eye bush bolt are $8.50e.

I was gonna go greasable shackles, but IMO the shackle pins are thin enough as it is. Just get new shackle pins & a tub of rubber grease. Lube 'em up when you do a service. The stuff I got is a cool red color, must go faster
