Default Anyone Know Leaf Spring Bushing Specs For An 01 1500 4x4?

The OEM part number for the leaf spring bushings is 52039480AA, but they're not available anywhere so I have to go to the aftermarket.

Rockauto has Dayton Rubber bushings (I do NOT want polyurethane) in various sizes. Hoping someone knows which I need, would save me the trouble of going and laying under there with a caliper haha. Thanks. I am guessing 1-3/4.

I just checked mine and they appear to be 1.5". Not sure why there's three other sizes. I do know there was two sizes of spring packs for 1500s.

Hmm. I might have to measure mine then. I have the Off Road Edition, which does have an extra leaf in the rear but it seems odd that they would have different bushing sizes.

Makes sense to me. Especially with the ORE. The width of the spring packs are the same for all 1500s but thicker packs could very well have larger eyes requiring larger bushings. I would drop one out and measure before ordering.
