Hello Reuben, thanks for reaching out. We do have a bronze bushing that will work with the # DX23CR Leaf Spring. For that you will need the following:
- Bronze Bushing - 9/16" Inner Diameter, 11/16" Outer Diameter - 1-3/4" Long - Qty 1 # D014-077-00
These must be used with wet bolts, since that is how they are lubricated. A wet bolt like part # MR52HR would work great. These are typically sold as a full suspension kit that comes with shackles, bronze bushings and wet bolts. For example, the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # MR46ZR comes with 2-1/4" long shackles, wet bolts and bronze bushings. We will just need to make sure the 2-1/4" shackles are correct for your trailer. What shackle length do you have currently? They are measured center hole to center hole. Typically getting the whole kit is more cost effective too.
