Default Polyurethane shock bushing???

Hi. I'm planning on installing a set of rubicon shocks on my 2012 JKU sport. I was thinking of replacing all the rubber bushings with polyurethane bushing before I install them. I've been looking at where to find them, but can't. I surly doing something wrong!!!!!
Any help finding where I could them and or input would be great.

Thanks.

What is interesting you in replacing your rather new maintenance-free rubber bushings?

I sent my JKU Sahara to Panama 6 years ago. Last year I was there and the rubber bushings were nearly gone. The pieces still there were badly degraded. I went back last month and the new shock bushings stock rubber, were already showing signs of degradation. I want to replace them with urethane to eliminate this issue. If you think urethane makes noise, try driving a Jeep without shock bushings!
