    so, i bought a set of Warrior brand shackles, but need to replace the bushings in the frame mounts. the leaf spring side is good, as its a new lift kit. is this what im looking for? i'd only be using the little ones i circled?

    Those are wrong. You could use Jeep PN 921055 or aftermarket urethane bushings.

    Energy Suspension Front or Rear Leaf Spring Bushing Set Red | Morris 4x4

    Summit lists 6 different products:
    https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/leaf-spring-bushings/year/1975/make/jeep/model/cj5/leaf-spring-position/front?SortBy=Default&SortOrder=Ascending&N=leaf-spring-position:front+bushing-material:polyurethane

    Search the net for "jeep spring bushings 1970"

    You want the plain cylindrical bushing with the inner sleeve. 1.75" OAL. The ProCOmp and Skyjacker on the Summit page look wrong, but they may not be using the correct illustration for the product.

    This is timely, as I was thinking about asking the same question.

    got it, thanks.
    *one at the frame
    *one where the shackle and spring meet
    *one at the back where the spring meets the frame.

    x2 for the other side =6

    I have an old school set frame bushings that I never used, I went with urethane instead. The ones I have are like the original metal clad bushings you can have for shipping if you want that kind. PM me if you want them. Rick

    I would wonder about the durability of that bushing's urethane shoulder.
