Alcanspring.com, they custom build each set to order and can give about any ride height/rate you prefer...AND the bushing sizes fit as opposed to skyjacker (unless they've fixed the issue with the incorrect eye/bushing/bolt size...idk)

Oliver I ordered mine with 5/8' bushings. I received 1/2". After three calls to skyjoker. I kept getting the same answers from the supposed tech section.

#1 someone changed your bolt size. We sent the correct bushings.
#2 We offer no 5/8" bushing for any vehicles.
#3 Just remove the steel sleeves. It will be fine.

Skyjoker has known about the 5/8" bolts for years. If they started offering 5/8" bushings it has been within the last year or so. On other websites I still see the bushing issue show up about once or twice a year.

Jingle sells a lot of bushing kits for skyjoker springs. That's how I got my springs finaly installed.

Well I got two bags of bushings in the Skyjacker red Poly style when I ordered my set of 6 inch front and back springs for the white crew cab ten years ago from NTW.
One size for the gasser size one for the diesel size bolt.

Oliver I just went digging and found my old thread. It was 10/07 when I installed those front springs. Wish mine would have had both size bushings.

You might have bought your springs after me. I worked that tech staff over real hard. So they might have decided to do something.
