    Was looking at my truck today and noticed what I thought to be a bushing looked dry and cracked. This was on the rear shock.

    I think it's the shock mount insulator. I believe I found the correct part as well.

    Just curious if this is a concern or should be lol.

    Meh, some surface cracking. No info on how old your truck is or how many miles or if these are original or aftermarket. Wouldn’t hurt to change it, but probably not hurting anything.

    No need, run em. They will last until it is time to replace shocks in the next few years. If you have the black stock shocks you probably already have some fade in performance and may benefit from replacement. OR and sports package shocks last a bit longer, but start to get tired around 80k miles.
