Rear leaf spring bushings - Gen1 Trooper #825559 07/17/07 11:05 PM

I have rear bushing questions!

Rear
I installed aftermarket shackles on the rear of my Trooper. However, they came with 3/8" bolts and 3/8" bolt holes, and the rubber bushings in the Trooper leaf springs have 1/2" holes in them. Is there a bushing kit made that fits the Trooper springs and the standard 3/8" shackle bolts.. perhaps one with the hardened metal sleeve?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Where did you get the shackels from? I got a set from INDEPENDENT4X and it was .500" holes and bolts.

That explains it!

I bought mine from Fly-N-Hi (the company I work for is affiliated with them = drastic discount) - but I guess the discount wasn't that great since now I get to drill out the holes to .5" and buy new bolts <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the info, that solves my problem
