Default Front Spring Bushings

Hi everyone,
I have an 01 Z that the previous owner lowered dramatically.
Although it looks great, I drag on the ground everywhere I go.
It looks like the bushing for the front leaf spring was cut and I would like to replace the bushing with a new part. I have looked all over the internet and can't find a sounce for the part. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

I also have an 01 and wanted to change the bushings just because they look dried out ,so I started calling parts stores and all local dealer ships to find out that they are only sold as part of the front spring assembly for about $700. Good luck in your search

search is your friend.
If you use the search terms "bushings"(?) or similar terms, you'll find the name of after market source who sells the bolts/bushings separately. I can't think of the name off hand, but it's been mentioned several times for this issue.

I believe the company is called HARDBAR, I think the owner's name is George. Hope this helps.
