I have a 70 2wd 1/2 ton w/leaf spring in the rear not coil. i ordered bushings from energy and they are to big to fit in the sleve. the main eye outside diameter is 1 1/4 in long. does anyone know of a company that has what i need.

If I am reading your post correctly the sleeve from the old bushings is still in the spring eye and it should come out before installing the new bushings.

the sleeve is out, just when i got my new bushings they were to big they are 1.5 in" in dia. and the sleeve is 1.25 in" in dia. the ? is does anyone know of a company that makes a bushing kit that the bushing od is 1.255 in"

hope this helps
i have a 72 1/2ton c-10 lwb chevy with heavy duty rear leaf springs.i tried everywhere online and with vendors on the board to find new bushings with no luck.well i finally found them in stock at local napa parts store.id seen a post on here along time ago that someone else had the same problem.tha napa part # is 274-1185 for$9.72 each

at first they gave me part #274-6459 which may have been for regular springs but they was a little to small for the heavy duty springs.

hope this helps someone
