It looks like you live in Martinsville VA and I am sure they have a blacksmith, machine shop, or an off-road shop that can cure your woes. In the early 80's I owned a 1976 Blazer and had all four leaf springs rebuilt and raised 2.5" by a local blacksmith, Hanley's and he did a killer job. The Blazer looked great, was absolutely level, and took me fishing and camping for many years. I had a local off-road shop add poly bushing.

Give Roanoke Auto Spring a call. They have the bushings in stock and will install them as well. Something like $10 each for the bushings and $10 per spring to install them. 540-343-1597. There right off 220 north next to the Roanoke Civic Center.
