Spring replacement - what else?
 
I ordered up a full set of Alcans.
Is there anything else I should replace while I'm swapping springs?
Is there a bushing or something?
I hate it when I take something apart to replace a worn item only to find I should have bought 2 other things and done while I was in there.
Thanks ahead of time

either that, or contact Jungle and get his bushing upsize kit. Got to cut a hole in the frame if you do his upgrade, though. That was the only thing that stopped me from buying it.

Cutting the hole in jungle kit was easy. I think easier than getting the factory bushing out.

The rear spring rear shackle bushing is a tough one to replace aswell, had to have a poly bushing machined down to fit. Jungle can get you any bushing size you want greasable or not. The upsize on the bolts is a good idea as i had to cut a few of the old ones out.

I went all greasable bushings which worked well for a year but then they start plugging up. The push in zerks in the bolts are no good, they push out eventually, thread in are the only way to go.
