Leaf spring eye bolt and bushing size...

(1/2) > >>

philo_beddoe:
Do I really have to go out and measure the inner diameter of the leaf spring eyes? One catalog says it’s either 1 1/2” or 1 3/4” (for ordering new bushings). Other catalogs don’t even mention the two sizes.

VileZambonie:
What are you doing, poly bushings or rubber bushings? HD springs are 1.75"

philo_beddoe:
What do you suggest? I have 8 leafs, is that hd or standard?

Thanks...

VileZambonie:
I would suggest you measure to be sure but you probably have HD springs.

Both have their advantages and drawbacks. Quality rubber bushings will behave like the factory system and I believe that is what you are after? BTW, they are not easy to change, so be prepared if you are doing them yourself.

philo_beddoe:
I will measure them for sure. Thanks for your help on this, will probably go with standard rubber.
