I have used these guys before. Fast shipping. suspension.com (http://www.suspension.com/toyotapickups.htm) Or try your local 4x4 shop, even my lame one usually stocks spring bushings.

You can always order some through performance products. Hell - 4WPW should carry them too.

I've bought lots of bushings from this place:

http://www.suspension.com/toyotapickups.htm

(same place John Smith mentioned)

My stuff always get here the next day (I'm fairly close, but obviously they send it out the same day).
Good prices and great service. :)

I've been to this guys shop a few times. If energy suspension makes it this guy probably has it. He is even willing to spend some time to help out his customers.:)

checked this site, and i'm going to order from him. has the most complete listing of energy suspension parts i've come across. one question:

i have 4" AP springs for the front and rear, after trying to find some info, i'm ASSuming that the poly bushings for stock springs front and rear will fit their respective applications in the AP springs...but i dunno? :confused:

the part number for the energy suspension rear spring bushing set is 8-2102 and the front is 8-2103

i can go home and see if the ID of my rear spring eyes match the rear AP springs, but i have no idea how to check the fronts (i have IFS - thats getting cut off tonite :bounce: ) except to try the same method and compare the ID of the rear springs to the ID of the AP springs...but then the question comes up (if the rear spring eye ID matches the AP fronts) do i order 2 sets of rear spring bushings (one set for the front and one for the rear)? maybe the guy at the aforementioned website will know what the difference, if any, is between the 2 part numbers.

but i was just kinda hoping maybe someone here knew, or could tell me which bushings they got for their AP springs. :D

Bet you All-pro knows. :D

Arent the All-pro springs made by Alcan?

Either that or measure and check the charts.

will probably end up measuring and comparing the rear springs, if i cant figure it out by tonite i'll call AP tomarrow and see what they have to say.

cause i think AP will probably be closed when i get home from work(in an hour) and i was hoping to order tonite :(


and yeah, i'm almost certain they are made by alcan.

Drill it out to 3/4" and with energy suspension bushings a 3/4" bolt fits perfectly. or an 18mm bolt will fit just as well.

(this was from another thread i found) are you using rears up front? whatcha got out back?

All-Pro's springs are made by Betts Spring exclusively for All-Pro and have been for about three years now. Before that All-Pro carried Alcan springs.

Why not just order the bushing from All-Pro? :confused: That way you know that you will get the right thing the first time.

cause i thought they'd be $$$$ from allpro, and i couldnt find a price listing on their site (or even a metion that they sold them seperately, but i'm sure the do). i can ask them tomarrow when/if i need to call about what will fit/ what wont - but i dont have any way of contacting them tonite.

that should would be the simplest solution. hope its = to or less than the 20 bucks for the rear and 17 for the front that www.suspension.com wants for them.

edit: oh, and thanks for the clarificaiton on the springs :D

I used rears up front and got energy suspension replacements
Front eye is 3/4" bolt and rear at the shackle 18mm.

Rears are totally stock Chevies minus overload.

6.5" shackle both ends.

2"drop front, 1" block rear

(this was from another thread i found) are you using rears up front? whatcha got out back?

I've got All Pro 5" front and rear. The poly bushings that I bought from J.C. Whitney, for stock Toyota springs, are the same thing as the ones that came with my All Pro springs. The only difference is All Pro's bushings are black and J.C. Whitney's are red. I gave around $20 for a complete set of rear springs and they were here in 3 days.

Just letting you all know even *I* use the search feature now and then :p

"rear spring busings" got me this thread (among others) and exactly what I needed. www.suspension.com got me the bushings for my rear springs being used up front and got them here fast... and for a good price too :)

Looks like the bushings I got are graphite impregnated as well...
