My front rubber bumper is about 1 inch away from the metal. I checked the leaf spring bushings and it wasn't metal to metal, still rubber there. I also have 3 leafs up front and I'm still 1 inch away from the bumper. Could the leaf pack be depressed?

The bushings in the shackle and frame are not easy to tell until you take it apart.

Ok, I'll have to look at it closer some day. I have the bushings already, I just wanted to save them for when I do a D60 swap and 350 springs.
