Anybody know what size bushings Rusty's leaf springs actually have in them? I've had mine since 2012 and the bushings are shot, I'm trying to avoid buying Rusty's bushings again. Rusty's says on their site that only their bushings fit their leafs, and some people claim that you can use an OEM sized bushing on Rusty's springs. I'm looking to see if anyone can say for sure which they have in them.

Same here. I bought a full poly replacement kit for the shackles & leafs just to find out I had to spend another $80 on Rusty's bushings. It's my only complaint mainly because they are almost twice as much $. They bone you on the shipping.

Yes they do....had to pay 2x as much in shipping as the shims I got from them.

Yup my only gripe with them also is the shipping. I installed the leafs in 2011 and used poly bushings when I raised my lift to 4 1/2" in 2012 using same leafs so far they are good to go.
