Old Man Emu rubber bushings?

[philagony94xj]

I have searched but could not get a definitive answer. Is it possible to press in factory leaf spring bushings into OME leaf springs?

I happen to have a complete set of front and rear factory spring bushings so this would be beneficial to me if I purchase a set of OME lift springs.

BTW I'm picking up a new to me XJ in the next few weeks.

Yes, in the rear eye at least. I never put oem bushings in the main eye but I would assume they use the oem size as well.

I just did front and rear bushings in my O.M.E. leafs with stock rubber replacement bushings from Quadratech .

I just pressed in some factory bushings into O.M.E 2in heavy duty leafs as well... just stick then in the freezer and then you can press them in... i used a threaded bolt with 2 large washers and nuts on the outsides and then racheted them together suprisingly easy... now ive just got to get the leafs installed...

Got my factory bushings,shackles, nuts and bolts from here http://teamcherokee.com/
