    Ok so let me throw some more info up...

    the Front main eye bushings Are toast on my CJ6. I purchased from MORE years ago when I built the truck. Shackle bushings look fine.

    I can’t believe MORE is the only company that sells a greaseable poly bush kit.

    they don’t sell replacement bushings only. Has anybody seen 46-75 main eye bushings only?
    They appear to not be the same as shackle bushings.

    Factory springs?

    For a '73, they are all the same as well as I can determine, PN 921055. These bushings are all the same overall width, diameter and center hole. For '74-75, Jeep switched to a different part with a longer central tube PN 5352659. Same dimensions otherwise as a 921055.

    As I recall, I just bought the ProComp (?) kit of 4 to go with the bushings that came in my new BDS springs. Not greasable, but came with a vial of compatible grease. I see both RuggedRidge and Skyjacker kits of 4 available today.
