leaf spring bushings

I have been looking and looking and I can't find the right leaf spring bushings.

I have a 1983 f100 that has the 2.5" leaf springs and I can't find the bushings that fit it. I have ordered 3 sets now all of which are "promised" to be the ones I need to no avail.


Does anyone know where I can get the right ones. I'm looking for a set of polyurethane set.

Thanks in advance.

You can't get the 3inch ones and take a hacksaw and cut them shorter? Sounds like they cater to the 4wd guys.

I was thinking about doing that, and I still might. But, I would much rather just have the right size ones to begin with.
