I would definitely go ahead and order a set of poly bushings for the other end. You might as well have new bushings to go with your new leafs.

 

I asked Sarah to add it to my order.

Once I get everything, I finally will have my own install/mod day.
Lots of stuff to install. Front springs, UCAs, front brake lines, rear springs, U bolt flip kit with tibrems, rear brake lines, rear bumper, tail gate skin, mini air horn.
I think that's about it. unless I end up buying more stuff.

 

when do you plan on having an install day? I'd be down to lend a hand if you gots the tools. I like learning opportunities.

 

I'll need to get all my parts first before any installing can begin anyway. Plus I would have to coordinate with the HK shop to see when he's available too.

 

damn, that's gonna be be quite an install day. make sure HK employees are allotted their 15 min breaks and lunch break. lol

 

Yeah separate. I got Delrin bushings for all 4 corners.

 

Aw man, I gotta give the breaks?

 

And beer haha

 

Yeah, can't forget the beer.

 

That's the rules! Empty Cooler = Wrenches Down

 

I gotta find out what kine beer though. don't wanna make the mistake of bringing beer that nobody drinks. heaven forbid I show up with a cooler full of bud light or coors.

 

PBR.....

 

Bro my favorite beer in the whole world, is the free one... Then I have choices for second favorite and on ;-)

 

For my Monday through Friday beer its rolling rock... But on the weekends I drink the good... Its too expensive to drink the good all week long... Look above my kitchen sink...

 

No mind the mess though... That was thanksgiving and we all know that time is chaos in the kitchen

 

They give a rubber bushing for the front hanger because that thing is a bitch to get out of the old leaf, but they instruct you to reuse the rear bushing. That's why they are only $180 per.

You can get them bundled with OME's poly bushings for all 4 corners, you just have to specify you want fishy bushings.

 

"I would like some fishy bushings please"

 

Come to think about it, I've never tried to remove any bushings from the stock leaf pack. The rear one is easier than the front?

 

Yeah the rear is just difficult to remove. The front one is stupid ridiculous to get out. I've done a few with a hammer and sockets. If you are trying to rescue the leaf pack and not the bushings, then burn them out. It's a lot faster and easier.

 

I took one of the front ones out using a balljoint press but it was still kind of a pain. I changed it for nothing though as the old bushing was still good.
