Getting the Wheeling Fever

I'm looking for urethane bushings for my '88 Monty. Specifically for the leaf springs. I saw that DonH has some Prothane bushings, but haven't had luck finding any. If you have a part number, that'd be cool. Will bushings from any other vehicle fit?
Thanks for the help.

I just did mine on my Raider and they seemed fine. What didn't you like about yours? For sure mine were better than the 300,000 mile remenants I took out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />

they just seamed real loose fitting in the frame and in the springs.plus i had to cut some of them becouse they were to long to fit they stuck out but were touching in the middle if that makes since.there is also 2 diferant part numbers one for the uppers and one for the lowers but they all mesured the same when i got them,but had the correct #'s.i also had to cut the lip off the lowers but that was probaly from using the toyota shackles.and these were bought at a mitsu dealer.

The one issue with the polyurathane is some people have complained about them squeaking. IMHO the rubber holds up just fine, wont squeak and rides a bit smoother.
