    Well my cell service sucks but aren't your new bushings 3 piece? We are talking you rear leafs correct? The bushings should come apart one bush goes in on each side then the metal sleeve goes down the center on the back u don't use the sleeve (shakle side) if you have stock shackles. Unless ur new front bushings look exactly like stock you need a hydro press to get them in
