Spring eye bushings
Besides LMC truck does anybody know where I can get these bushings? A kit form would be great LMC has all that stuff individully. can't see paying $15 for half of the bushing.

I don't fully understand the question but rock auto sells the front bushing for $9 and the rear bushing for $6. shipping is about $6 for the 2.....

what about the question don't you understand? The way LMC shows it in the catalog pic is that you need 2 half rubber busings, and a metal bushing inside of those 2, all those look individual. here's a link

The OEM style is purchased individually, or you can go the Poly route and purchase the whole kit from LMC on page 109.
The rubber bushings can be had at any auto parts store like Checker, Auto Zone and NAPA.

*I will assume that since you have a 92 and you are in NY that the hangers and shackles have been replaced already.....

on your first post you said " can't see paying $15 for half of the bushing".....you did not provide a link....I had no idea what you are talking about....and even now I still am not sure what you get for $15, but i did not feel like looking over the whole page..it looks like the LMC bushings are in 3 pieces where as the dorman and rockauto oem ones are 1 piece......I have done the shackles on hangers on 5 rangers....I have only used the Dorman kits.........they come with an OEM style bushing that needs to be pressed into the "eye"....it looks like the LMC product might be easier to install.........just a guess as I have never seen or used it........

I just picked this truck up last friday and found 4 rivets where there would be spring hangers, both sides. The shackles and end of the spring is resting on the bed floor, lol.
So what did you guys use to press the new ones in?

They way they show it in the catalog is 2 pieces are required and each are $15 and the metal part is $14 or something like that. $44 for 1 side? ummm no!

it looks like you might need new hangers and shackles....Dorman is the cheapest..........also on your Model 1992 the front of the rear leafspring hanger rusts out also
