Generally, you would buy a complete bushing kit with the shackles, etc. I personally would also get new U-bolts and nuts as well. I have not done any such a repair since my Model A days, so my additional advise would be quite dated.
At any rate, don't forget the jackstands, and leave the jack under as well. You can't stress caution enough in this instance. And lastly, finesse will better a hammer every time.
