Question SOR Bushings for Confer 1.5" shackles

So I've seen a couple horror stories about ebay items and makin' things work.. Got a full set of Confer 1.5" shackles with 5/8" bolts.
Going on 76' FJ40
From SOR the two descriptions below look like the bushings I want. Difference being O.D. and Flange width.

40 Series S-O-R Poly Bushing-Black graphite impregnated polyurethane-Fits 1958-7/80 40 Series Con-Ferr Shackles, Performance Shackles (#288-80 & #288-81), & Extreme Shackles (#288-92 & #288-94)-Specifications: I.D.=5/8 inch, O.D.=1 inch, Flange=.195
40 Series S-O-R Poly Bushing-Black graphite impregnated polyurethane-Fits 8/80-1984 40 Series Con-Ferr Shackles, Performance Shackles (#288-80 & #288-81), & Extreme Shackles (#288-92 & #288-94)-Specifications: I.D.=5/8 inch, O.D.=1 3/8 inch, Flange=.125

You want the 1" OD bushings. Those will fit your stock spring eyes.

Good luck!

From what I understand, the problems people were having with the conferr shackles was that they wouldn't fit over the flange on the bushings.

You need bushings with a narrow shoulder for the shackle mounts on the frame.
