The best deal I found was the following from http://www.aftermarketsuspensionparts.com/ They also have anti-sway bar bushings. Good products at reasonable costs.

I don't think anyone makes the bushing for the front shackle that bolts to the frame? Thought it was a copper bushing?
If memory serves, a member by the name of jimmy (red crew cab) experimented with different bushings for different vehicles for that spot? (look at his build thread)
If anyone knows different let us know

Correct, as far as I know, no one makes the originla type shackes, but there are posts here about how you can find the individual parts and DIY - viewtopic.php?f=20&t=34015&p=246344

I have a extra pair of new Eaton shackles with newer-style steel & rubber bushing, but slightly different in appearance than the factory piece, and of course you'd need to press out the old bushing.
