wishbone bushings

I'm going to start building my wishbone for my 72 swb and need some advice on bushings. I will be running a heim in the front and 2 bushings on rear axle. I have 2) 3/4-16 threaded bushing that are 2" wide (total width) left over from another build. So the question is, would you guys run them of go to a 3" wide bushing?

Re: wishbone bushings

Have you ever thought about using Super Pivot bushings?

Re: wishbone bushings

Yes, im running super pivots on the front of the lower links. Was going to use the heim in the front of the wishbone because I have 4 laying around in the garage and trying not to spend any more money than I have to. I just was not sure about running the 2"wide wide bushings on the axle. I no 3" would be better, but does it really gain that much more strength? The heim im using for the wishbone is a quality heim and not cheep crap.
