[Closed] Needle roller bearings in Fox shocks instead of bushings - Worth it?

I ride a Reign. The rotation on the upper bushing is significant, and bushings seem to wear fast. Would a roller bearing work better?

My only concerns would be the lack of rotation of the bush and keeping water out of the bush.

I fitted the BETD roller shock bushing... working fine here on my 5 spot.

Dunno if they are any better than the old bushes though.
