I use Western Chassis spindals. Polygraphite bushings are the best stock replacement parts.

Last set of 2.5 spindles for 73-87 trucks I used were Western brand. Funny thing is I ordered CPP brand units but inside the box they were Western. I chose Summit for them since they have the best prices and the 11 dollar flat price for shipping and handling for any order made the price even better.
