Front frame shackle bushing?

Anybody know a part number or where I can buy the bushings that go through the frame and upper part of the shackles? Not the one that goes through the leaf spring, but the one above it. Any help would be awesome!

Check LMC's catalog. I think they have what your looking for or you can get it in polyurethane if you buy the kit.

Upgrade to ORD's HD Front Upper Shackle Hangers (FUSH). I did and I love them, way better than stock!

Cohl I think I have an extra set of front suspension red poly bushings. I can dig them out of the garage and get a pic if you want.

Ahhhhh man. I just bought a set yesterday.... Thanks so much though. I got a set of Energy Suspension 3.2111R. They fit ok, but the sleeve is about 1/4" too short. The old sleeves were in good condition so I just reused them. Thanks for all the help guys!

You won't regret it. The stock bushing is 1 1/8". ORD's is 1.5" WAY BETTER! The install is a little involved, but not all that bad. A little pricey at about $160.00 plus shipping, but should never need to do it again! It really helped with the way my K5 handles on the pavement.

LMC part # is 34-1368 and it looks to be a 8 piece kit for upper and lower bushings. They also have a poly bushing kit part #34-0106. Good time to upgrade to ORD's HD greaseable shackle IMO
