I went with the prothane kit
Ride feels objectively better, although I only replaced the bushings that were completely rotten yesterday, the passenger front radiator support and passenger side front cross cab support, the rest of the bushings are still in okay condition, and plan to change them as time permits.
I had a huge issue with "crashing" on hard bumps, and it turned out due to the lower bushing missing on the aformentioned corners, the cab would lift then fall back down on the frame rails, causing a pretty harsh ride quality.
I used these, bought from Amazon.

Perfect fit for my 94 xlt 4x4. Someday I'll use the rest of the bushings because it's not like the originals are in great shape.
The thing is these are just the bushings. The hardware to attach them is bizarre, expensive and probably rusted solid in your rig.
I cut out the old bushings, used these replacements and built my own mounting solution using grade 8 bolts.
You can buy new hardware from LMC but it's like $100 for each bushing.
This is what I just installed on my 94’. It’s pretty easy just remember they are bolts not studs that go through so you have to pull the carpet up to access the top of the bolts
