rustys springs

ccflexj · Jan 6, 2006

hey..i just put on my tnt boomerrang shackles and when i did that, i took a look at my bushings in my leaf springs and they are cashed...ive had the leafs for pretty much a year now and im wondering if that is usual for the rusty 6.5" springs bushing to be worn out that fast?

rubber bushings + big lift + offroad = going to wear out, I replace all mine about every year or 2.

are the bushings the same ones as the stock ones? cause i have the rusty 6.5 leafs?

Don't see why not. You can always call Rusty and ask him yourself. He might even send ya some for free. Worth a try.

I bought a pair from quadratec for a pair of my stock leaf springs and I had to get them pressed in. Little hard to do it by myself. Another place that probably carries them would be Autozone.
