Stock TJ control arm bushings. Get them out of some free control arms. They'll press into some 2" pipe, think it was sch40. You have to weld a bead around the inside on one side of the pipe, it'll make since once you look at them, the bushings have inner and outer steel sleeves. I also tack the outer sleeve to the pipe.
Spending $20/bushing is for suckers. The YJ spring bushing thing also works, and keeps you from falling into the "suckers" category. Of course I guess you're the working man anyways....
I HATE those bushings Greg and Troy had them on the comp rigs and they wouldn't last one outing and where the biggest PITA to change. Don't use the stock TJ crap bushings... The rubber gave too much also, causing axle wrap and subsequent hopping, then subsequant ring and pinion...
