    Need some input on bushing kits for my 72 CJ5 rebuild. I would like to replace all of the spring bushings, body mounts, etc. Any first-hand experience with specific products/vendors would be great!

    I've had good luck with Energy Suspension body bushings and Spring bushings. They ride a tad harder than the stock rubber but last WAY longer and if you have greasable shackles they won't rot away on you. Most 4x4 shops can get them. I used to have to replace spring bushings every 6 month with rubber. Now with the poly bushings it happens about every 2 years. Most people would last much longer but I use the heck out of my Jeep.

    I have bought bushings (tie rod, body, etc.) from "Suspension Restoration Parts Co." before and have been pleased with them. I'll bet they have what you need. Prices were good.
    www.suspension.com (209) 578-5101

    They're the retailer. The bushings I bought were made by Energy Suspension.
