Front leafspring bushings.

Hey gyus maybe some one can clear this up for me. I am getting ready to do a 63" swap and some skyjacker soft ride springs up front. When I recieved the skyjacker springs it came with no bushing so I went to autozone to order a energy suspension bushing kit for the front and this is what I got. not sure what bushings go where. The long ones are to short and there is not enough short ones to fit all the holes. Springs and shackles. just trying to get everthing lined out before I jump in. Also its for a 85 pickup

Its supposed to be the stock replacement bushings. Were all of yours like the short ones?

The short ones are for the springs, and the long ones should be for the top of your shackles where they go through the frame. If you look at your shackles, they are wider at the top so thats where the long bushings go.

Thanks guys. After taking a 2nd look at the frame/shackle bushings i did see how much bigger they are and see how the long ones will fit up there. I just wanted to make sure I had the right hardware before I start tearing it down.
