Wabfab Shackles - Bushings!
Not sure if I'm just retarded after a long day wrenching or if Wabfab sent me the wrong thing, or more likely I ordered the wrong thing. But the pics below kinda tell the story. I ordered the 'Shackles Read Narrow 6" ' for the back of my 87 4Runner, which appear to be the correct part for my Year / Model. But I don't think these are gonna work.
I received 2 sets of thin kinda bushings and 2 sets of thick bushings.
Here's a pic kinda holding them up next to the half removed factory shackle.
I think what I need is another pair of the thinner bushings, or am I missing something here?

You do, or 2 pair I think.
The thick ones are for where the springs mount to the frame at the other end. It looks like them anyway, definetely too big for the shackles.
You need 8 of the thin ones altogether for both shackles. Do you have 8, or 4? You said 2 sets, but I only see 4 of them.

Just had an idea....
Why not just use 4 of the old ones for now? Will they not fit the new shackle bolts?
NAPA has them if you're in a crunch. 4 in a box, I got the part # if you need it.

Hmm You got me a little worried.
I ordered greasable bolts and polly bushings from trail-gear. And I got the same thing but 2 of my bolts have more threads.
Did I order the wrong bushings to do just my rear shackles?
