Default spring perches

I just bought some parts to redo the whole suspension-the spring perches where with out rubber-shouldI get the kind with the rubber?
also I upgraded the rear spring bushings-are the urathane bushings hard to get in ? this guy at the car show told me they where hell to get in (top shackle) because of the limited space wuth the gas tank in the way...
I am a little new to all this so any help is appreciated and I hope the questions make sense

Shackle bushings are not that bad. Put a little grease on them, put them in as far as you can with your hands, then use nut and bolt to squeeze them in the rest of the way.

put them in the freezer to make the contract to allow them to go in easier also
