Leaf spring front eye polyurethane bushing

[crankyjew]

hey yall-

been after polyurethane bushings for my leaf springs. the rear eyes and shackle/frame ones I've got, no problems there. the fronts... I understand the ST springs are unique. Found the rubber encased version (here) but I'd rather go polyurethane all around.

Can't find anyone that sells a poly bushings with those dimensions (1.88 OD). Found a few that are 1.75 OD, and I'm wondering if that will fit if I leave the outer sleeve from the old bushing in.

I know somebody's done this. thoughts?

none of the other threads mention replacing the front eye bushing with a poly one, specifically. nobody's done this??
