Default Body bushings help

Hey guys I'm looking for replacement body bushings for a 98 jeep Cherokee sport, I would love to do poly bushings and if I could a little taller then stock.
Any ideas on where to find some at a good price.

Im not sure what bushings you are referring to. The cherokee has a unit body construction where the body is welded to the frame rails. No bushings like other 4wd vehicles have.

Haha coil spring spacer and a longer rear shackle.
Even on bodied vehicles, I would never do a body lift. There disgusting looking lol.
Or you could just pull out the trim and trim your fenders

Yep! I just want to replace the leaf springs, other then new rims, because the old ones where all chipped up this thing is 100% original. My wife bought it off the lot brand spanking new in 98. So if I do change out a part I only use Jeep replacements or as close to OEM as possible.
