I replaced the rear leaf spring bushings awhile back. :cool:Here are some pics of the job. I still need to do the front rear spring bushings. That looks like a difficult job to do with the springs still on the truck. I replaced the stock shackles with ORD and their greaseable bushings. On the spring eye I used Energy Suspension poly. I think the old bushings were OEM. :oops:

Yes, that is work there. The air hammer helps but I had the best luck taking a chisel and opening up the ring eye a bit, the just hammering the bushing out. It usually is uneventful after giving it some room to move
