front shock lower bushing

anyone know where to get these? they dont seem to sell a dedicated part for these trucks so im assuming it would have to be measured for a generic? i would rather not have to replace both of my front struts for some $15 bushings if at all possible

if you type in "replacement shock bushing" you get a LOT OF HITS...... BUT, you have to know the size ( OD, ID and width) your looking for....Seems like they vary between models.

i was hoping someone already had the answer so i dont have to pull apart the suspension twice, since it is my daily
however i think i might go for some quickstruts instead since one of the spring doughnuts crapped out the other day and now it feels like its worth it to replace the whole assemblies imo.

I replaced shocks when the bushings are worn out. It's probably time.

Yes, but not struts. Shocks are typically easy and don't require spring compression.
