Honestly Rick, haven't even started it yet with the 5 inch. I wanted to get the box and axle done, truck set down, then make sure the exhaust was mounted to clear everything ok. It's more/less last on my list. It was much easier to hang it with the box off, but I'll finish it at the end. I don't have any clamps or anything on it yet.
Thanks Nate!

Somebody got a link to some good body bushings? I thought I had something saved, but guess I don't.
Glenn, I know you had a couple links saved for replacing them too, would you mind putting them up?
I did a search, but almost everything was in umpteen page threads, and I didn't want to look through that much.

The directions from the factory said to use a piece of muffler pipe as a puller. Didn't work for me. Another said to drill them out but I couldn't see doing that. Then I read the one I did and it worked great. Lope a chain under a floor jack and use the bolt that you took out and put it thru a couple links of the chain. Screw it into the bottom threads with the chain fairly tight, then jack up on the frame, it will pull it right out. I say right out, LOL. Some of them were really in there and I couldn't believe the pressure I had to put on the jack before they popped out. Clear as mud?

No, I bought them from someone on here and they weren't with them. There isn't anything special about them, is there? I had a 9/16 bolt with a shoulder/thick washer on it that fit well, so was going to look for 16 like it. Was thinking I'd loctite them in and be good.
Glenn, I think I got what you are saying. I'm gonna tackle this before I do any more work on the box in case I need to shim it to make the body lines line up.
