bilstein 5125 16mm eye bushings.....

so, just realized as I have my rear suspension in pieces for my install, that the shocks I ordered, bilstein 5125s, have 16mm bushings, my 1st gen taco has 19mm...

the way I see it, unless I can find a bushing to fit the 5/8 eye to make it 19mm, I can either
a.) attempt to drill out the bushing to 19mm
b.) cut my losses, try to sell these shocks and buy a new set....

any ideas?

How's the Bushing OD?

Imagine another option would be to swap bushings?

 

Wasn't sure if they made bushings, couldn't find much online last night and I discovered it too late to make any calls.
Luckily Toytec had them, and luckily I live 30 min from them was able to pic them up and swap them out in about 15 min. Problem solved
The OD of the bushings was 1.125"

 

That's lucky!
