    I'm having trouble finding new front leaf springs for my 1957 willys CJ5. It has a aftermarket lift kit on the front I'm just having trouble finding factory front leaf springs that can use the ubolt type shackles?

    So you want to remove the lift kit and go with factory-height springs? Replacement springs will come with the factory-style rubber "silent block" bushings or equivalent polyurethane bushings. Just knock them out to use the early shackles.
