cab mount bushings
maybe you guys can help a dummy. just opened a cab mount bushing set that i recieved with a truck purchase. it has two 3" bushings, two 2 1/2". two 1". two 3/4". then four what i believe to be bottom rubbers. and hardware which i believe is short 4 bolts. only 2 in kit. kit has no instructions with. getting ready to put front end on my gmc antrying to figure which ones to use. also cab is on truck already and has a 2" lift. im thinking i'll have to either find some 2" spacers or refab 2 1/2s. then use correct front mounts out of kit. anyone know what the correct front ones are? gonna try to load pics tomoro. any help appreciated, rich sorry such a long read.

Re: cab mount bushings
What year GMC? If I remember right the taller bushings are for the rear of the cab.
The front clip bushing size depends on the year of your truck. I don't have a picture of the instructions, sorry.

Re: cab mount bushings
Check out the pictures in Bruce88's build thread, and see if that helps you sort the parts out.
It’s Just A Pickup, Post #446 I recommend reading the entire build, it's amazing the amount of information provided. I use his thread for reference all the time.

Re: cab mount bushings
Cab bushings are different from 1/2 T and 3/4 or 4wd. The rear cab mounts on a 3/4T and 4wd are lower on the frame than 1/2T 2wd to allow for a thicker rubber bushing to give a smoother cab ride.
