No, you don't need any jacks , nor do you need to take the wheels off.
If you look underneath the front of your truck, by the radiator, you'll
see a round bar, about 1 1/2" diameter, bolted to the frame on either
side with 2 U brackets. The bushings are in the bracket. You can see
them. You just need to take out the 2 bolts holding each bracket in.
The bar will drop giving you enough room to remove the bushing from the
bracket. It has a slit in it so the bushing can be removed from the
bar. Put some water resistant grease or lubricant on it and put it back
in.
Just a tip. Removing the bolts might be a pain with just a regular 3/8"
drive ratchet set. It will come easier with a 1/2 " drive ratchet set
to give you more torque. Good luck.
