Default Master bushing kit

I have a 2000 grand cherokee laredo and have recently discovered that all the bushings in the suspension are deteriorated very badly. I've e priced them out online and to revamp the whole suspension system it's around $500 in parts. Seeing that made me wanna look to see if I could find a master bushing kit as I tried to price them individually and they're even more expensive than the actual parts themselves. What I want to know is, is there a master bushing kit I can buy and hopefully save a couple hundred dollars?

I just priced everything on rockauto.com for complete control arms with bushings, all Moog parts except the axle end upper control arm bushings which I priced on quadratec.com for a total of $384 + shipping. All Moog parts have a lifetime warranty. Buying the complete assemblies saves a bunch of work trying to replace the bushings without crushing the arms. You might want to add a track bar, which I forgot to price. I did the same job on my 2000 WJ about a year ago. When you do them, only replace one at a time which will save you from using a come-along to get things lined back up. Another thing. I forgot about a new upper rear control arm ball joint that mounts on top of the differential. You may not need it, but then again, why not replace it since everything else will be new.

The only thing about the Moog front lower arms that I don't care for is they have a compensater-type bushing on the axle end that takes up shock and provides a smoother ride. IDK how long they will last, but that's what the warranty is for.
