What size of leaf spring bushings do I have?

I'm going to replace the leaf spring bushings on my 1975 GMC C25 while I have the springs removed for painting. I saw two sizes listed online, but I'm not sure what size my bushings are, and I don't know how to find out. I attached some pictures so hopefully someone can help me out!

Re: What size of leaf spring bushings do I have?

If you are putting in aftermarket ones from Energy Suspension or similar, you will also need to remove the extra metal sleeve that is outside of the rubber, existing joint. Might have to get a few different sizes based on your measurement. Measure the inside diameter of the leaf spring eye.

Also, the other end may be different in diameter so don't assume.

It took me a try or two to get mine replaced. I used offroaddesign to purchase their greasable bushings.
