Sway bar bushings question

I have a 04 f250 4wd, front sway bar is 1.25" diameter measured with a caliper . Front sway bar bushing brackets are around 1.25" wide . I couldn't find any replacements that specified anything other than 1.5" bracket width so I figured the specs were incorrect and ordered a set of ac delco replacements. After installing them they are not snug, I can see between the bracket and the bushing parallel to the ground. I've quadruple checked and can't find bushings that match the 1.25" wide bracket. Anyone know the correct part? BTW the end links are new and I'm not going to buy the energy kit.

Other than they probably cost a little more why didn't you just use OEM? Ford dealership.

​​​​​​Sometimes the obvious answer is the hardest to come by. I'll probably just get OEM, don't understand why this is such a tricky thing to solve
