    Looking for bushings for the rear shackles. Does anyone know where I can find them? I thought they would be the same as the spring eye bushings, since both use the same pins, but the shackle bushings measure almost 2.5" wide (vs. 2" wide for the spring eye bushings). Picture shows exactly where I'm talking about.

    Never had to replace those on any 3/4 ton I worked on.

    If you run into a dead end finding them.... I have original shackles with good bushings in them.

    Thanks Joe, I will keep that as an option. I got all new pins, so maybe I should slide those in to check the fit. But the bushings indeed look worn. Want to make sure I do things right the first time.
