I have a 79 jeep cj7 and bought a bushing kit for the rear leaf springs. The kit is 2.2103
the OD of the front bushing is 1.5" while the ID of the front spring eye is 1.0312"
the OD of the rear bushings are 1" and the eye of the rear leaf is 1.0625"
The ID of the rear shackle to frame mount is 1" though.
The rear shackle bushing don't have metal sleeves and neither did the old rubber ones.
do I have the right kit for my jeep and do I have all the pieces that come in the kit?
How do you put a 1.5" bushing into a 1.0312" hole?

Windmill,

You have a legitimate case there if all the dots line up.  First things first I want you to double check the VIN # on your CJ7.  The dimensions that you gave me seem to fit an 1980 Jeep but I don't want to assume so if you could double check that for me I would greatly appreciate it Smiley

Secondly after you have done that please call Matt @ 1.949.361.3935, He's an encyclopedia of bushing knowledge so please let him know what we have discussed and I will do the same, ahead of time.  Let me know how it goes, thanks!!
