Leaf spring bushing help

I am going to be putting in some urethane bushing from Classic Industries for my 69 K20 and was wondering if they go dirrectly in or do they need some sort of metal sleeve like the factory bushings? I would think they go right in but wanted to be sure. Thanks!

There is no metal outer sleeve.

Might want to also consider putting in greasable bolts. ORD has them, as well as other sources I'm sure.

No metal sleeve on the aftermarket bushings. Use some silicone grease on them, it makes it easier to install.
