Re: Rear spring bushings

I got them through a local dealer who bought two different sets for me as the catalogue isn't clear on measurements....once they come in I'll give you the part number of the set that fit the truck.

The Energy part number that fit for me was: 3.2106R (R is for red bushings that I used)

Thanks for the info,I ordered those same bushings (but black) and they fit the springs just fine but an 1/8 inch too large for the shackles. It may be that somtime in the trucks life they were replaced with aftermarket units. I took the shackles and bushings to a friend and he is going to try to mill down the bushings to fit. Let me know if you run across this problem.

Since my shackles were new and had new rubber bushings, I left those as-is.
