I would.

The only downside I know of urethane bushings is they can be louder than rubber and more likely to crack than rubber bushings.

One word of caution...the front bolt for those bushings tend to "push" the bolt loose and you'll need to check it periodically.

I've know several, including my old Cavy, had to have the bolt retorqued several times a year. Yes...even with loctite on there!

Good mod for elimanating wheel hop but just remember to check the bolt from time to time.
