Brass bushing gives you vertical travel as the leaf moves, but binds when tolerances close with off axis movement. With a solid axle say left wheel is on bump, right is drooped, the shackles pinch leaf and stop travel. Sloppy tolerances let it rattle around and flex a lot. Soft bushing gives more travel, some damping. It's more of a rock crawler trick, like tapering the leaf eyes so you may not even want or need it.

Looks like your rim uses 8mm hex. So maybe... thttps://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01NBASGBG/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1493598059&sr=8-9&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=8mm+hex+w heel+rc

I made adapters for the hex, I'm not sure I saw anything off the shelf to go from big to small? Got the rear axel mounted, I think I'm gona need another helper and a tweak to get it right. Now to the front and mount the transfer case.
