C-bushing replacement
I have a 76 F150 4x4. It has what appears to be a factory lift kit. The blocks on the rear springs are anvil shaped and 3 1/2" tall. I am guessing I will need the 4 degree replacement c-bushings? Any confirmation would be greatly appreciated.

Stop.
The rear blocks are OEM and at OEM height if there are no other blocks and OEM leaf packs.
The degreed C-bushings are for the front when there is a lift installed over and above the OEM height.
Do you know if you have more lift than OEM??? A 4-degree C-bushing is for a 2- to 4-inch lift. From your description of the OEM rear blocks, I assume that the front is not lifted at all and thus does not require any corrected C-bushings to restore lost caster when it is lifted.

I'm not positive. Only thing it has is the 3 1/2" anvil blocks in the rear. No other blocks front or back and no added leaves. I assumed the blocks in back meant it had a lift. Maybe that is stock as in no lift for these trucks. Looks like HIO is saying that is considered no lift for these trucks. The 2 degree bushings state for no lift up to 2" inch lift so looks like those will be the ones I am getting.

Yep. I recall someone out there lists a 0-2"-lift C-bushings.
