I was putting on a pair of rear sensa-trac shocks the other day on my 1996 Jimmy and ran into a problem. Drivers side went on without a hitch. Passenger side was another story. While raising the truck, jack under the frame infront of the front leaf spring eyelet. Tire almost off the ground when i hear a bang and notice a piece of something under my truck. After some looking it appears the eyelet at the rear split. It's still somewhat wrapped around the bushing. Now i replaced the rear bushing on the drivers side last week and found out the springs eyelets are 1.3/4 The factory size is smaller. Somehow someone put what energy suspension thinks was a heavier spring. Now i need to replace my springs. How do i now what springs i need to order. If i order a pair according to my year, they will probably send the smaller eyelet spring. Would like to replace springs with the same ones already in there.

 

i remember reading a thread on this issue with the bushings. the guy called and talked to a rep from them and got ahold of someone who knew about this and got them the correct bushings.

 

Yup that was me. The rep thought they go to a pickup.

 

try finding a local spring and suspension shop
We have two locally and that's all they do from car up and including heavy truck
they may have the expertise you need
