There have been a couple folks on the forum who have done it themselves. You can probably search the old threads.

I had mine done at a race shop.

FYI - the long backordered GM solid rear cradle bushing kit is shipping again. A buddy had some on order for a while, and the kit showed up today at his dealer.
