Are the old ones still in one piece?

If so, take them out and measure them, most bushings can be matched up to something via the measurements.

I think they are the same springs as a CJ3 front spring. I know I used a small 1" lift springs for the front of a CJ3B on my trailer. go to a local parts house or online at 4wdhardware or quadratec and search for stock spring bushings for a CJ3 and you should be good

Most any offroad shops will stock Rubber and poly bushings. I just walked in and said I needed bushings for a flatfender and they got my the right bushings.

those look like brass to me. I haven't pulled my shackles and springs to look yet. that's next after wheel bearings and seals....

The Military wrap/pivot end of the spring takes the brass bushing. I just replaced mine. It actually went easier than I thought it would. You can use a long socket with an OD of a little less than 3/4" and pound them out. I used a piece of 3/4" DOM I lathed down.020"

I replaced my springs with Rancho's so maybe that is the differance. I used poly bushings in mine.

That's probably true!
