I am fortunate to have a shop here locally that carries them. At least they did when I swapped in the Old Man Emu suspension on my 91 Cherokee.
OME stuff is awesome. I sold my ‘99 Cherokee before I got a chance to do that.
A coworker told me about OME, he had a 92 Cherokee, he said it rode so nice. My stock suspension was so saggy that it looked like a low rider 4x4. It rode okay, just okay. When I installed the OME kit, what a difference, it was smooth with a 2 inch above stock lift, for mine it was nearly 4, but it rides like stock due to the stock spring rates. Those Aussie's did that kit right for sure.
When I did mine, this did not work for me. No matter how much I drilled, I couldn't get them out. I finally just took everything out in the yard and hit the center pin with a MAPP torch until they melted out. Once the pin is out, the rubber piece comes right out. Once the rubber is out, it is quick and easy to get the metal outer piece to tap out. I wasted a ton of time trying to drill and had everything out in about 20 minutes once I switched to the torch.
That's insane for some stock style dorman junk. It's only $99 for the ORD Kevlar bushings with greasable bolts so that you don't have to hear them squeak and have the bolts rust to the sleeve.
Oh, that’s my miscommunication. It was for the whole leaf spring setup, two sides. You’d think English was my second language.That's insane for some stock style dorman junk.

They have them in stock too, so you would likely have them by next week.
That makes more sense.
Cool! Great tip, I’ll give them a call tomorrow!
We can't hear that picture. Let's get a video lol
That I certainly won't! The guy built her like this back in'83/'84 with a kit...it's staying a kit. I haven't seen one like it, and I like it's unique!
You have a good point there! I wish I could just attach a video rather than load to YouTube to post. Wonder if I can post to YouTube from my cell...?? I'll try.
Yes you can I do it all the time. You just share to your channel on YouTube. Then post it on here.
