I got these springs in my truck http://www.customsuspension.com/stor...oducts_id=1742 they have the poly inserts in them.

Also IIRC the old springs I took out of my truck had them in also.
PO replaced the factory spring with some local made springs which I killed real fast

I have been thinking about giving it a try. Thanks for the link! I have been looking for a good source for them, and had not found that one yet.

Call ATS, they I replaced my bushings as well with theirs. They told me poly's will make the ride quality worse.

That's what got me to thinking about doing the fronts. I may give it a try.
If it doesn't work, it will be a good excuse to get better springs

I would like a pair of those but they are out of my price range now.
I does prove that the inserts can be used on the front though.
Thanks Bob.
