Thanks, I'll do some looking today

They also do not have any slots for lubricant to get through the bushing between the sleeve and bushing. On the second set, I added 4 slots hoping that was the issue. I used the special grease for polyurethane bushings, but it didn't make a whole lot of difference.

Here is the bushing with dimensions. These show grease slots, but mine had none. https://www.energysuspensionparts.com/bulk-2557

Interesting, thanks for the info. I bought my kit in November of 2020 when I sold my house and everything has been on the shelf since then. Finally getting some time to fiddle with the truck. I'll pull the box off the shelf and see what it looks like though and keep this info if I need to make up something before install.
