I just changed mine out two weedends ago, got mine from james duff and ordered the ones that say 1" dia., 3.5" tall. http://www.jamesduff.com/broncoII/bodylifts.html

The original ones however, were only about 1.5" of rubber that sat on a stamped steel seat, or spacer. The replacement was solid poly and fit right in.

Well, the size you need will depend greatly on the size that is on your truck already.

Yeah I just noticed you have an '88 mine is a '89 and duff specifies '89+ so you definitley have to measure yours, both the diameter of the sway bar and the height of the block. Makes a huge difference in cornering though if the old ones were shot, definitely worth it.
