RE shackle and leaf bushings.

VAhasnoWAVES · May 30, 2012

my RE lift kit came with their 3.5" leaf (RE1463) and lift shackle (RE2700). i want to replace bushings all the way around but am not sure which ones i need. googling only concluded that they are not OE.

:helpme:

do not get replacements from RE, they suck.
Someone mentioned a 3rd party to me who has quality bushings, ill try to find that link

Seem to be a good bushing & Much cheaper than RE.

The RB-71 is the Shackle end leaf bushing.
The RB-121 is the frame end bushing.

That was it, thanks Tim!

great!

what of the bushing in the shackle itself? same as one of the ones posted?

Those are pretty standard two piece poly bushings. I'm sure if you get some measurements, someone like prothane or energy will have something equivalent.

That NAPA part # says $16.49 ea, could that be right?

bump.. getting ready to order bushings.

The RB part #s dont say anything about diameters. How can I make sure they are the right bushings?

On either of the first two pages Tim linked, click on "Rubber Bushings" toward the top of the page for a chart with the dimensions.

and these are a direct fit? seems too good to be true.

is there a napa option for my RE shackle?

djlarroc · Jun 12, 2012

these are not only cheaper, but a better quality bushing compared to quadratec, etc?

djlarroc · Jun 12, 2012

just tried to order a set of 4 bushings.. almost $16 for ground shipping.. WTF?

They charged me $18.60 for 2nd day Air UPS, I did not think it was bad at all.
+ The Bushings are holding up fine!
