Leaf Spring Eyelet Dimensions

Hello.

Can anyone tell me what is the ID of the front and rear leaf spring eyelets? I want to look into some spherical bearings for at least the front and am having a hard time on a definite measurement.

My truck has the "heavy half" pack if that helps.

1977 1/2 ton: A Brand new in the box stock front spring eye bushing measures 1.5"

I took a look at the Rock Auto catalog and far as I can see stock front spring eyes are 1.5". Might help to know what year of truck your working on, and 2x4 or 4x4 just to confirm there aren't other sizes.

Scroll down to post #3 by Ski-Me and click on the ORD link. You will find some good info on eyelet sizing.

The truck is a 1977 1/2 ton 2wd. That links seems to agree its a 1.5 inch.
