Leaf Spring Question

Ok i have searched and searched and i remember seeing a post on this subject but i cant find it to save my life.

The little round plastic things that go between the bottom and the seccond from the bottom leaf spring "if that makes sense". when i hit bumps the bottom spring rubs on the top one creating a gnarly squeek. all 4 of the hard plastic things are missing. I read a thread some where that gave the part # for them. If anyone can help that will be awesome. This has been going on for a while and i just cant stand it any more and want it fixed.

I am not sure, but I don't think you can buy those seperately and I would think you would have to disassemble the spring pack to install them. Ed is your best bet if you can get them and then local for install.

if you figure something out please post it, I have been living with the same thing. My simple "solution" is liquid graphite...then it rains and I have to do it again.

If you guys keep an eye out I am sure someone with stock springs would be willing to give you their take offs.
