Need help with rear leaf spring bushings

So I need to replace the rear leaf spring bushings in my truck. It's a 2003 crew cab long bed. I ordered energy suspension part number 5-2118 as prescribed by the summit racing website, but when I got them in they are way too big.

The kit looks like this:



The smaller bushings are the correct OD to fit on the front and read of my leafs, but there is only 2 of them, and the larger bushings don't fit anything.

My truck has the thuren rear leaf springs, but I don't think that matters at all since I'm 99% certain I reused my oem bushings when I installed it.

Any thoughts on what is going on here?

Thanks!

Measure the old bushings then call Summit...obviously those won't work. Might as well call Thuren as well to verify you used your old bushings.

Finally got ahold of Thuren Fab, they use a different size bushing, I can get them from them.

Thanks!
