Call 1 888 933 2805 and ask for Kevin. Have your spring width and inside diameter before you call. We remove bushings by heating them with a propane torch until the rubber catchs fire and the center sleeve falls out, we install them by putting them in the freezer and putting the spring in the hotter than hell Florida midday sun, a little lithium grease in the eyes and laying a 2x2 chunk of oak over it and beating it in with a 3lb sledge. If their still in the truck we use the same freezer,heat & grease witha piece of 1/2" ready rod and a 3" diameter 1/4" plate with a center hole and the impact gun.
