Front leaf spring shackle bushing problem

[keanevann]

Its been a long time since I posted on here so first I would like to say hello to everyone again. I bought a new set of front shackle bushings for my 4x4. The metal rod seems to be the right length but the bushing is way too wide. They meet up good on the inside of the frame piece. The heads of the bushing stick way too far out though. Should I just "Squish" the heads or trim them to be the right thickness? Anyone had this problem? If so what did you do? I bought the bushings from LMC.
