On the rear springs I believe the front bushings are bigger than the rear four.

:hmm:, I don't think they were as I just pressed in new bushings. I could be wrong though.

OK, so LMC is saying the non flex o matic spring bushings are the same. They have two different descricptions:

Spring Eye Bushing (4 required)
Shackle Bushing (2 required)

Thanks for the links Fordman.

The standard springs are the same bushing, I just did mine earlier this year with Energy Suspension's poly bushings. Wasn't easy, but sure made a difference.
