Any spring shop worth their salt should know the dimensions. Note that around 91.5/92 they switched to larger bushings for the front springs fwd eyelet that took a 5/8" bolt instead of the 1/2" which would oval out the shackle hole.

there are polyurethane bushing kits that don't require pressing from skyjacker and many other manufacturers

As far as I know the spring eyes are all 1" diameter the spronga are 3 1/2 wide and the bolts are either 1/2" or 5/8".

Geno’s garage carries the bushings for the front, made by energy suspensions.

Between 1972-1991.5, all front leaf spring bushings are 1" OD with 1/2" bolt and 2 7/8" wide (2.5" springs)
The very front leaf spring eye only for 1992-1993 jumped up to 1.25" OD with 5/8" bolt (rear eye is still 1" OD with 1/2" bolt)
If you want to fit a 5/8" bolt into a 1" eye, say you're installing Skyjacker springs which have 1" eyes under a 1992-1993 truck,
you do have options: https://archivegarage.com/explore-ar...bushings-1x625
