The Moog polyurethane bushings are pretty good. Much better than the stock ones.
If you are planning on DIY, rent a chipping hammer (or buy a harbor freight one). You will most likely need it to remove the steel sleeves on the original bushings. I've tried pressing them out with not luck. Chipping hammer makes it a quick job.
How are your ball joints and brakes? If they are getting worn out as well, I highly recommend upgrading to a new front axle. It upgrades all the wear components and gives you stronger brakes, and a better sway bar design. You can buy new take-off axles from the 4x4 converters (Quigley, QuadVan, Advanced & UJoint-Offroad) for about the price of new aftermarket rotors alone.
