    The springs don't come with bushings pressed into the spring eyes?

    Ron; If I remember right, the rear bushings just push in, and an axle for the shackles runs through them. I have a urethane set I will look at tonight. I think they are big ones, and the smaller ones are in the shackles. Do you want the bushings? Let me know.

    The springs(4 leaf) I got from ESPO came with the front bushings installed, and I put the rear bushings in. They were included. I also got the rear frame bushings and they were the same size as the ones in the rear spring eyelets. All the bushings on the shackles were the same size andpushed in by hand. Russ
