Aftermarket leaf spring width issue - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Building my 71 K10 and had a set of Tuff Country 4" springs fall into my lap. Got my new Energy Suspension Poly bushings but they are for stock applications. Stock springs are 3" wide mine are 2.5". Called Tuff Country they said these are correct for my application but didn't have specs/dimensions on their part #91100 (poly bushings) Are theirs wider? Problem is there is 1/2" play on each side that's not right. Can I just get some heavy duty material and use 2- 1/4" shims on each side to fix? Anyone else have this issue?
