I'm looking to replace my front shackle bushings on my 86 k10. Does anybody have of the correct part number that's required? I put new spring eye bushings, Prothane brand, and the shackles don't line up evenly. The spring bushings are a bit wider than the stock shackle bushing.

Shackle upgrade. Comes with shackle plates and bushings/hardware.

This kit is for the stock hanger. The FUSH kit is good while you’re doing the shackles but does add into the costs.

HD Front Shackle Kit for '67-91 GM Trucks

The stock shackles on '67-'87 ('91) GM trucks leave a lot to be desired. They're one of the main weak links on those trucks, they use flimsy shackle plates and bolts that are 2 sizes smaller than the rest of the suspension. This is our HD shackle upgrade.

I think you were asking about the front spring, rear shackle bushings?

I already have the heavy-duty shackle plates, and the spring eye bushings. I just need the correct width frame bushings to line up the shackle plates evenly. I ordered some energy suspension bushings, but they were not as wide as the spring bushings. I'll post up some pictures later today, I appreciate the the link

They have all the bushings. What springs do you have

I did, twice. I was sent the exact size OEM bushings. I need some bushings with more width than OEM.
