Found out that RE uses non-oem sized bushings in their leaf packs. oem are 1.7x2.5, the RE uses 1.5x2.5. They apparently used bushings for FSJ's and J-10 Leaf packs.
Thankfully the moog replacement are only $16 a piece for the shackle end - Moog SB-317

This is exactly what mine have done. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showpost....3&postcount=19
I'm pretty sure its due to the nearly vertical shackle the RE spring set causes. I'm gonna replace the bushings on both sides and order relocation brackets. Hopefully that keeps the new bushings from being hammered to death due to shackle angle.
