Those came with the truck, stock item?... I think? Lets say this, they were there when I took it apart. I had actually forgotten about them and then had to look all over the place once I found myself installing new shocks.

I have seen similar spacers at an Ace hardware, If you google bolt spacer a lot comes up. Other places to look... Grainger industrial supply, and Fastenal. Let me know if you need any measurements for those little fellas.

I had custom aluminum spacers made because i dont know what happened to mine when i took my truck apart. It's always bugged me that I wasnt using the right part though. But maybe a spacer is a spacer is a spacer...

Spacer is a spacer buddy. I had stacked up washers in there for a bit until I found mine. Lol.
