OEM mounts are expensive and sometimes not appropriate.

I had a hard time finding useful information on the bushings that were out there. Most of them would not fit standard tubing sizes, didn't have shoulders, or would only say "fits '69 Camaro". I don't have a '69 Camaro to press bushings out of to measure. I had a particularly hard time finding rubber bushings, poly is easier to find. You can get poly in a wide range of durometers, but the folks selling them seem to try to tell you what they think you want to hear.

Here's some info I've found, please share anything you've found useful.


Here's a cute mount made by 4x4innovations, Marlin likes them well enough to sell them too.

I didn't want to spend that much and usually make my own parts anyway. I bought NAPA CJ rear leaf spring bushings. They're rubber, not poly, part # 274-6526. They were like $6 a pair or something. They sleeve into 1.125x.065 tubing great.

Since then I've also found these from Spidertrax. They're larger and more expensive, but come with inner and outer sleeves.
