Didn't see any on BJ's site but that seems like something they would also carry.

Thanks Tad. I didn't see it on BJ's site either. Even tried checking energy suspensions. Anyway, thanks.

got a few boxes of energy suspensions stuff here now, for the winter project type stuff... just for information's sake... the main (front) spring eye bushing on a GM 4x4 front spring is 1.5 OD and uses a sleeve which takes a 9/16 inch bolt - 1.5 inch SCH 80 pipe is basically an ideal fit for this bushing. (or you could buy DOM, but for a sleeve thru a frame rail, i will use the SCH 80... the shackle end of the chevy spring is an 1-1/8 OD and the sleeve uses a 7/16 bolt (not ideal, but i have 2 bubs with 150 - 200 K miles on them and haven't had trouble... though i know some places sell upgrad shackle mounts. the only way i have found 1-1/8 id tube is as 1-3/8 .125 wall DOM - 7.50 a foot at my nearest farm-town welder shop.... anyhooo.. if the jeep uses a 1.5 inch od bushing, then the GM fixed end bushings will do the trick...

peace
