Re: 68 K10 4x4 Rear Springs

wow, what a rig....

I'd stick with the poly bushings... how tight are they? Don't forget to use the grease that came with them. Did you order a set of springs? I wonder if they will sit the same once installed?

1. Can you spread the spring hanger a little?
2. Can you trim (by slightly sanding maybe?) the outer edge of the poly bushing?

If not then i'd grease it up and slam it home... Original bushings will have to be pressed into the spring.
