body mount bushings

So I installed new body mount bushings on my '77 f150 and put a 3-inch body lift and realized that the spacers sit crooked on the bushings. especially the two in the front because the bushings are really small. Does anyone know if there are bushings that fit these spacers?

Not too clear on what you did.

Do you have just a body lift now?



Where are YOU located?

there is a 6inch suspension lift and 3inch body lift. The body lift was already on but the old body mount bushings were really worn out, so I ordered new polyurethane ones from LMC truck. I took off the old bushings and put the new ones on, but the spacers for the lift sit crooked on the new bushings when they didn't on the old ones. The new front bushings I noticed are quite smaller than the old ones. I was just wondering if anyone sold bushings that were made to fit spacers for body lifts? because it looks like these new ones weren't made for body lifts.

Do you need the body lift?

What size tires are you trying to clear?

Is this what you are looking for?

I got Energy Suspension poly bushings and they worked perfect with the stock mounting hardware. Maybe you should send them back ? Sounds like they either aren't the right ones for your truck or are just crappy bushings.
