Leaf springs too small?
I got a 6" super lift and the front springs are 2.5" wide but my hangers and shackles for the front are 3.5" wide. What should I do?

Re: Leaf springs too small?
Is the 2.5 just the springs or the springs with the bushings in them?

Re: Leaf springs too small?
Without. I answered my own question after searching I found that super lift makes special aftermarket bushings for the lift. Thanks for the suggestions anyways!

Re: Leaf springs too small?
All the GM kits I've installed over the years had pretty thick bushings sticking out either side of the springs at least in the front.
You can see Red Bushing in the front on this example:

Re: Leaf springs too small?
No bushings came with mine so I didn't know. I think I got the correct ones coming. That diff. cover is something else. Thanks!
