replacement leaf spring bushings

[CumminsJeep]

I need new rear bushings for my Rustys leafs. gee, what a shocker. I dont want to get rustys ones again. They are smaller than stock size ones. I think they are 1.5" ID? but im not sure. where can i get some that will fit these leafs? help a brotha out

i'm gonna try and pick up a universal poly set local, just so i can throw em in mine at the shackle end. the biggest pain is getting the sleeve out, so i kinda just wanna get a poly insert for 20 bucks or so, slide it in there, and call it a day. if i have any luck i'll let you know.

energy suspension 2.2111 is the p/n for the leaf springs, i'll check advance and napa and see what they look like and if they have em.

Your best bet is finding a local spring shop, they'll prolly have it on hand

I went to a spring shop, they pressed them out and the new ones in for $45. Try finding a spring shop.

The rustys are not the same as Stock, I bought stock bushings from quadratec a they were not even close to fitting

they changed bushing size apparently sometime down the road... and there are def different stock size bushings. ive seen ones the same size as my rustys and ive seen ones that are HUGE like the ones i got from alex.

The huge ones you got from alex is what confuses me. so im guessing my rustys leafs are the normal size ones and the ones you got from alex are the oddity? if i can go to quadratec and get them for 45 bucks i will

yea. bc i remember trying to replace mine with the OEM ones once and i couldnt get that outer sleeve out but they were the same size.

any local parts store carries the bushings btw... itll save you shipping and whatnot.

I got pretty quick at removing the leaf bushing sleeves last time I did mine.

I cut a notch in them with a sawzall(you'll know when you hit the spring eye, it will rattle your head apart), then used a hammer and punch/chisel to wedge underneath the notched piece. Once it crimps together slightly it's real easy to hammer out. Using a little lube never hurts either.
