To 71 Deputy,
If you are referring to the" rubber"for the K member bushings,then these are available in urethane from Performance Suspension Technologies.I did mine a couple of years ago as the originals
had dissintegrated and the results were well worth the investment. Hope this helps you.

Does it still have the oval spring eyes?If so Energy suspension carries the bushings.You might want to consider changing to springs with round spring eyes as the oval ones are prone to breakage.

oval???? never seen those before- mine are round as a donut hole!!!! lol
ma mopar doesn't stock them anymore??????
got the rubber out of one this weekend- it has a outer steel cover- then rubber and then the innear steel section for the bolt to go through.
didn;t really look to bad- the outside was falling apart but the inside was still good.
guess for sitting for over 15 + years the rubber wasn't torn apart!!
