I have a lift from my parts truck. 4" blocks in the back and a lift leaf pack in the front. The bushings are roootttteeddd. I cant find any brand names or markings on the leafs. How do i find the right bushings? is there a measurement i need? or are they like universal? Thanks

Nothing? C'mon guys i need some help.

you can measure them, pull a front spring, bring it to a spring shop, they can match up the right bushings, i'll assume the rears are stock, but if not, same case.
any autobody shop should know a local spring shop.
or if you can press them out, without completely destroying you could measure and post them here, maybe someone else knows what will work

Without knowing the brand, measure and call someone like (offroad design) they can hook you up. Their web site has good info.
The rears are probably stock springs.

I already have them off. I don't know of any shops in the area, but i'll look into it.
Would the only dimensions i need be the inside diameter of the spring and then the depth of the hole?

Just buy a dial caliper and measure both the OD and the ID of the hole as well as the length of each bushing. Write them down and contact energy suspension via the link someone posted above. They can match them up.

Dial caliper? lol Everything is digital now

Not at my house. Hehe. I'm too cheap to upgrade my dial caliper and I probably couldn't read a digital caliper as fast as I do my dial. ;)
OP you are definitely in a pickle. Without knowing the brand of aftermarket springs you'll just have to measure the bushing hole dimensions and you'll need to know how wide the inside of the frame bracket is and try to match from there. All OE replacement springs should use the original equipment bushings, however, aftermarket lift kit springs had no such standards and could have anything -size wise- in them.
