I'm getting my ducks lined up for installation of a new pair of HD leaf springs on my 89 LTD. I've having some difficulty finding the information that I need.
Should I use rubber or polly bushings?
I've decided on these springs: http://www.jeep4x4center.com/product-information.asp?number=4886186AB. Would these take the stock size bushings (I've asked Morris for an answer but not heard back)
I'm not clear on how many bushings I need. I know that I need bushings for each end of the spring but some kits appear to come with bushings for the Shackle as well.
Should I order new Shackles?
Is the nut/bolt hardware commonly available - I think the job will be easier if I just cut the old nuts/bolts off rather than try and screw it apart.
Can I do the job one spring at a time or does it make sense to take both springs off before installing the new ones?
Any other tips?
Thanks for any advice.
