Tried a search but could not find a specific answer. I am in the process of removing the 4" lift springs from the Jeep. I tracked down some stock ones, but the bushings are shot. The Rough Country springs that came off the Jeep have bushings in each end, but they look different than the stock ones and they don't look like they would come out. Therefore, I have a couple questions:

1) Is there only one spring eye bushing ? Do the shackle bushings take care of the other spring eye and the shackle hanger on the other end ?

2) If I were ordering parts to replace all the bushings on each spring, would I need 1 new shackle kit and one new spring eye bushing ?

Thanks in advance.
 
You would need bushings for the springs such as this Polyurethane Leaf Spring Bushings and Other Jeep Parts and Jeep Accessories by 4 Wheel Drive Hardware-RH2

and you would need bushings for the shackles like this Front or Rear Greasable Shackle Bushings by Daystar and Other Jeep Parts and Jeep Accessories by 4 Wheel Drive Hardware-RH2

For some reason I only see them listed for the YJ (this is whats in the link) I know they make them for a cj and you can just buy the bushings without the greasable bolt. Your just have to try someother website.
maybe morris has them, we get a discount there.
 
Thanks again for the reply. As I was looking through the 4wd catalog late last night, I found a real nice exploded view of all the front and rear suspension parts.
