Default The ride quality comes from the front bushing
Most I know leave it the stock rubber and use an aluminum/del-a-lum bushing for the rear eye and shackel.

If you need a set of front bushings (del-a-lum and aluminum) I have some new in the box from Global West.

Or you can try to adapt it to a Spherical Bearing.

yep, solid bushing are what we used before they figured how to use a spherical bearing. you want bindless travel or rotoation you don't want deflection.
