[mudblazer]

Im putting 52" leaf springs in front but i cannot find bushings the fit my rears and fill the gap the original bushings dont have the extra padding on the side like the regular front bushings so if you guys have put 52" in front what kind of bushings have you guys use tank you in advance

I'm not aware of any bushings that you could use that will make up the difference. There are 2 ways to solve your problem 1) make your shackles with a 'dogleg' in them to compensate for the difference between a 2 1/2" spring and a 3" spring. 2) get some of these (down at the bottom of the page) heavy washers to weld to your shackles to make up the difference.

He talks about getting a wider bushing about half way down.

let me know what you figure out

IIRC you can use aftermarket lift spring bushing in those. They are the same width 2 1/2", and the ID is the same....Summit sells them, and think they make only 2 different styles, one for Superlift and then the rest.

I can tell you right now, the superlift bushings won't work. The Eye diameter is too small. I got fed up with searching and just got the spacers from DIY4X.
