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.


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.

Summit 6", the spring bushings are Prothane
Most aftermarket spring eyes are 2.5 inches wide. The factory are 3 inch wide.
