any of you guys have any idea what might cause the bushing to do that ?

i have a 3" front and 1" add-a-leaf heavy duty OME, and offroad bumpers.

Looks like the genius who installed your lift left out the spacer

looks like i am that genius, but i swear i didn't see any spacer in the kit for it.

the other side has what looks like a block in there for it...maybe it fell out during install.

do you know where i could get another one ?

I've never heard of using a block on the sway bar when doing a 3" or less leveling kit...

All Lifts will eat the front end parts faster than stock after many miles..

mine look new still...

I know because I lubed them hoping that was where my squeak was coming from.

AND I have no block in there. If your opposite side does, just make one out of the same thickness material, maybe 1/4 inch aluminum flat stock...

hmmmmm

seems to me that there is a block attached to the bushing on the drivers side!

DRIVERS SIDE:

part #2 - see that little block on top of the bushing?

PASSENGER SIDE:

part #15 - no block..

so now i just need to find out if anyone makes an aftermarket bushing

I never even took the bushings or the bolts for the bushings out when I did mine.

I don't get what the big deal is, replace the bushing. it's easy and cheap:
