spring bushings ? ? ?

if anyone can help me out with this it would be gratefully appreciated. i have a 1978 f250 4x4, i installed a 4" skyjacker lift system ( new springs in all 4 corners ) close to 12-13 years ago. the truck is currently in the stages of a frame up build and i'm at the point of reinstalling the springs and this is where i hit a brick wall. i went online to buy new bushings for the rear ( spring/shackle bushing kit ) but cant seem to find a kit that fits. energy suspension bushing kit is what a bought. i called them but the guy on the other end was of no help at all. telling me that my aftermarket springs are the problem. so i called skyjacker and they assured me that their springs only use oem sizes but they dont offer a poly bushing. so where can i buy bushing for my rear leaf and shackles ? anyone with part numbers ? spring is here and i really want to start putting her back together. if anyone can help i again would gratefully appreciate it . thanks.

Wait maybe this is more of the bushings you are looking for Prothane POLYURETHANE LEAF SPRING AND SHACKLE BUSHING SETS - JCWhitney and as for the shackles you may have to get them custom built. Contact these guys Leaf Spring Shackles & Leaf Spring Bolts they do good.
