Hi Sonny!
I do have a couple potential options for you, but the Lippert Never Fail bushings were discontinued a few years ago and are no longer available. So with that said, these are the ones that are the same size (1-3/4" long with a 9/16 inner diameter and 11/16 outer diameter):
Dexter Suspension Bushing - Nylon # 721590
TruRyde Nylon Bushing - 9/16" Inner Diameter, 11/16" Outer Diameter - 1-3/4" Long # TRBU11566
Dexter Bronze Bushing - 9/16" Inner Diameter, 11/16" Outer Diameter - 1-3/4" Long - Qty 1 # D014-077-00
Out of these three, I am preferable to the Bronze option. They are stronger than Nylon and as you can grease them, they tend to last longer as well. Especially when paired with a wet bolt.
What kind of trailer are you working on?

The though of a part that never wears out is everyone's dream. I have had these bushings installed on my trailer with a wet bolt system for years. I do my proper maintenance and they are not showing any signs of wear,even after thousands of miles carrying loads that are probobly more than what the trailer is rated for. I own 3 trailers and have these on 2 of the 3. They are quieter and stronger than the stock plastic bushing. Easy to install and well worth the money to upgrade. Looking back at the trouble free maintenance I have had I would 100% buy these again.

When I replace trailer springs, I order the bronze bushings and replace the nylon bushings. I lube the bronze bushings before each trip over 1,000 miles and I don’t have any issues with spring bushing wear.
