I need to get both front and rear bushing kits for the springs, shackles and sway bar whatever is the complete replacement. I think I want the polyurethane bushings unless someone can talk me out of them. Where do I get these things?

thanks

 

4wheelparts.com i know skyjacker makes em, just DONT buy skyjacker springs

 

energysuspension.com There is a kit for the front springs but not the rear. We modified Chevy rears to fit the Dodge.

 

I've had really good results with these guys.

Thanks guys I am following up on all your suggestions. Of course they are all closed now but I hope to hear from them soon. Please keep the suggestions commin. For the places I have been able to contact they don't have the shackle bushings.

thanks again

 

Do any of them have both front and rear bump stops?

 

Don't know didn't ask should I replace them also?

 

Nah, mine were all nasty and I was wanting to.

 

I shot them an email also.

Anyone have exp with urathane bushings? Are they worth he hastle in trying to find them or are the stock ones fine. They are the original ones on the truck now. I probably won't get another 18 years of or er but ya never know. More of a chance I won't get another 18 years out of me.

 

From my understanding the shackle was sold as a complete unit including the bushing. I know espo used to sell a complete shackle for about $20, but that's been a few years since I looked. You could always measure them and talk with an operator and see what they have in stock that is that size.

 

Good thought thanks

 

I replaced the bushings on a '79 Dodge van I had before I bought my '93 - the bushings were great but they did squeek quite a bit. I would like to hear if this problem has been solved or not before I would use them again.

They now make both the red bushings that are known for squeeking and the black bushings with graphite made into them that dont squeek. Get the black ones.

 

Ok, I haven't heard back from any of the suppliers yet, over the weekend, but hope to tomorrow.

Now am I to understand I can get all urathane bushings but I will have to buy the shackles with the shackle bushings. Not a problem I just have to know what to look for.

What are the major advantages of the urathane bushings? Tighter control, longer lasting and what else? Do the black ones squeak too?

 

WHY NOT ???


A bunch of the local 1st Gen. guys have been swapping in SkyJacker springs on their W-250 trucks to get some arch in the springs and make for a better ride.

I was contemplating ordering a set myself for the same reason.

Please enlighten me, before I part with my dollars.

Thanks.
