could someone measure the correct 4x4 rubber bushings on there truck or blazer..i need the distance from the bottom of the core supprt to the frame.
or just the thickness of the upper bushing.
think i got the wrong set on the truck,the gap between the fender and the door is wider at the bottom..
thanks jamie

they are about 1" thick

If you are replaceing them or already replaced them. look at it this way, the truck has probly been painted & those fenders have been adjusted before, maybe for the mushy bushings, might be able to adjust them back & tightend the fenders to re adjust them, 3 pennys put inbetween the fender & the door will give you about 1/4" of gap..... this might not be the case but its the first thing that popped in my head.

If you did replace them did you replace the cab bushings too?
I had to shim the front of my cab a little to cure the sane problem.
