    I am getting ready to install my new lift suspension on my 74 CJ5, the previous owner had converted it to a newer 76+ set up. Figured that out when the 74 lift kit came. So I have the correct kit now, my question about it is this: The kit came with poly bushings, 8 total. But only 4 metal sleeves for the non shackle side. Should there be 4 more smaller metal sleeves for the shackle side? I am going to be using Mcruff's shackles, slightly modified to allow for the wider springs of course. Is it ok for the shackle bolts to ride directly on the poly bushings?

    Nevermind, did some searching online. Found my answer. Went ahead and ordered greaseable bushings and bolts.
