explorer leaf spring bushing replacement

[Broncojumper87]

Long story short picked up a set of explorer leafs on the cheap and thought it would be a good idea to swap out the bushings before installing them. My question is what bushings should I use and how hard are they to change.

The springs came out of a 2nd gen I believe but I haven't been able to find bushings for 2nd gen only first gen does anyone know if I can use the same bushing as the first gen or even the same bushing as a b2?

2nd gens have a 1-7/8" OD for the bushing. They are hard to find, but ARE possible. Part Number is RB-237 for the large bushing and RB-131 for the small bushing.
