2000 Blazer leaf spring bushings question
I need help with finding the correct bushings for my blazer. I got a set of 96 Leaf springs from Rexmburns, because one of mine is cracked. I pulled the bushings out of the springs already and ordered Energy Suspension 3.2129R. it comes with 3 sets of bushings per side. one for the shackle bushings on the frame, and a set for each and of the spring. It looks like the frame bushings will fit and they fit one end of the spring. However they other end is too small. According to Energy Suspension kit number 3.2142R should fit springs with the larger opening (like mine). According to their website is this is for springs with the 2.5" eye. What I don't understand is that when I measure the eye it is about 2 1/4" and only about 2 1/8" inside the bushing sleeve. It seems to me that neither kit will actually fit. I could go with stock rubber bushings but I would rather use urethane so I don't have to worry about the bushings for a very long time.
