Energy Suspension 3.2131 problems 67-70 K-10 owners please help

[msgross]

Ok, Here's the scoop. I bought the Energy Suspension 3.2131 which is the front spring/shackle bushings set. The problem is

1. My springs have 1 1/2" eye's in the front and 1 1/8th" in the back, the shackle in the frame is 1 1/8th as well.

2. The kits came with eight 1 1/2" bushings (2 per eye) and four 1 1/8's. They claim that it's the right setup..... Also one of the 1 1/2 sleeves has a 1/2 opening, the others are 9/16th (what it should be)

Any 67-70 K10 owners care to look at your springs for me? I need to know if the front and rear spring eye's are 1 1/2" I think that they are going to send me an extra set of 1 1/8ths to make it work but they haven't had a problem. Thanks in advance... pics are welcomed...

I have run across this before also, the 'kit' is for an aftermarket lift spring. So if you are using a factory spring, they come up short (as you found out). At the time I was buying a shackle kit anyways and it had the rubber bushings in it, so I used those for the uppers.

I still have the stock replacement bushings that go in the spring eyes on the back of the front springs.I will look and see when I am out in the shop today.They wouldnt work in mine because they are for stock springs and mine were aftermarket lift springs...I should still have some stock front springs from a 69 4wd to look at too.

I'll explain that to them... they should specify in the catalog... I know that ORD sells a front end rear shackle upgrade that changes it to a 1 1/2" but I will not be doing any extreme off roading
