Ok so apparently the dealership forgot to tell me my struts and bushings are shot 6 months ago. How hard is it to put new ones in on my own?

What kind of bushings are you talking about here? If it's a bump stop then you probably won't be able to do it on your own since you'll need a strut compressor to safely take the whole assembly apart.
I've never heard of just strut bushings going bad though, usually you just replace the entire strut as a whole assembly, not just bushings.
You can tell if your struts are bad if you have a really rough ride, or you can see fluid leaking from underneath the boot on the strut itself.
