Spring bushings

I picked up a full set of Downey springs along with some other stuff today(complete front axle, 2 complete rear axles, a rear driveshaft, 2 front driveshafts, and a radiator with a metal shroud on it) for $100, and decided that even if the Downey's sag like lots of people's, they're still going to be better than my worse than flat front springs, and I may as well use the rears, too. Problem is, when the guy scrapped his '83 he didn't take the time to remove the pins all the way to remove the springs, and torched off the frame hangers. Long story short, they need new bushings and my stock ones are shot. Looked on Summit racing, but most of the brands they sell say they'll only fit their springs, not stock(which I'm assuming Downey's used a stock size). Energy suspension says they have the rears, but they wouldn't ship til the 27th, Trail Master says they have the fronts, ships tomorrow. It looks to me like the bushings are the same for the front and the rear, though, so could I just get 2 of the Trail Master kits and be good front and rear?
