Blazer Body Mount Question?????

OK I am fighting these body mounts on this darn '71 Blazer. Can anyone verify the order the bushings go from front to back? This blazer is for a customer and he bought the Energy Suspension kit years ago, and has since lost the paper work. What I could gather from Energy's website (their .pdf instructions online seemed to leave out the last 3 positions of body mounts) was obviously small diameter bushings for the core support, then the thick, large diameter bushings for the front cab (position 2) and the rest are all the large diameter thin bushings. I have it laid out this way currently but the position 3 bushing seems to have a large gap as if it were to need a thick one as well. This frame has had a ton of welding and boxing done to it so there is always that possibility that it's tweaked, because when the bushings are tightened the doors wont close. Any help would be awesome!!! Thank you fellas!

I did this not too long ago. All the rears are the same, you will need to shim to make up the gap or to where the body is straight and doors close. My kit came with shims (square metal plates with holes) and if I remember right most positions needed none and I remember one spot needing at least 2.
