Re: 1/2ton leaf spring bushings
Napa had no listing for them, and LMC shows 4WD only and the other site showed 67-68 only.
I'm assuming the 4x4 ones must be the same, I'm going to try to measure them. Just didnt know of anyone with 2wd had changed them. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1/2ton leaf spring bushings
unfortunately I work 6 days a week and I'm at work before they open and am not out before they leave, have no choice but to troll dialing. Thanks.

Re: 1/2ton leaf spring bushings
I will look and see if I can find the box mine came in. I saved it because I also had a hard time finding them. Finally found them at the main Napa here in Phoenix. You should call ECE. If they don't have them, they will tell you where to get them. I went to a local spring shop a couple of years ago to get U bolts made and the guy said they were 2 1/2" springs. I told him they were 2 1/4" and he told me I was either wrong or they were not original. Took a spring in for him to see... Me=1 him=0. Brothers and CPP also think they are 2 1/2" springs. ECE KNOWS they are 2 1/4". I would start with them.

Re: 1/2ton leaf spring bushings
Ok, I finally found the box (I new I kept it for a reason). The part number at Napa is 274-1185. At least those are the ones my truck uses. I don't know if ECE sells them, but I do know they can probably tell you who sells them. Hope that helps.
