Never Fail Bushings

I am about to change the bushings on our 2012 335SS with the equaflex suspension. I have considered the Wet Bolt kit, but now see that Lippert has something called Never Fail Bushings. What little research I have done indicates they may be better than the wet bolts.
Any comments or advice???

I put the wet bolt kit on and must say, there is no more squeaking noise as I drive thru the campsite.

I'm another happy wet bolt kit owner.
Like stated, no more squeaks.

I'd do it just to get rid of the squeaks! Anyone have a link for the kit?

I have wet bolts. (I have read that the Never Fail is a very durable material.) I just like knowing I have kept them lubricated. Has anyone had them for a while and checked to see how the bronze bushings are holding up?

I just got an email back from Lippert. Apparently you cannot use the Never Fail bushings on the Equaflex suspension.
Thanks everyone for your input. Wet Bolts it will be.

Wet bolts for me. No more squeeks and I like knowing when they are lubricated.
