You mean those that keep the D-Rings centered? They sell in Home Depot. It's something used in the toilet tanks. There's a thread about this and even has the product photo. The product has a very weird name. Problem is that the search function sucks in my phone.

I know a few plumbers, and they all have the same personality. Cock and Ball washers! Brilliant. Just brilliant

It's a ballcock shank washer. You're better off going to a plumbing supply store than home depot.

The interesting thing is that I do not need those rubber washers. The Smittybilt D-Rings fit nicely on my LoD and I do not have rattling problems.

Default d-ring spacer

I could not find the plumbing washer at the local hardware store and ended up buying a foot of 7/8" inside diameter black hose, believe it was for a washing machine. The pin on the D-ring is 7/8" so it fits snug with no rattle.

Default Installed

Finished installing the skid plate and PIAA 520 lights today. Everything fits, easy install. I had to drill a 3/8" hole through the crossmember to install one lower bolt on the plate, but no big deal. Now we need a rear armor lite bumper that is light weight and an easy install !!

Looks real sweet. I just ordered the LoD full width bumper. Can't wait to get it installed.
