Change leaf spring bushings

Hello,
I need your help again. I'm in the process of changing the bushings of the leaf springs on my F250 Bj. 71. I ordered from LMC Trucks for my model with Flexomatic to the best of my conscience, but the diameters don't quite fit. Have any of you had any experiences with this? Here some pictures.

What is that you are measuring the old bushings on as that dose not look like any leaf spring I have seen
You either ordered the wrong bushings or you are not measuring leaf spring bushings.

There should be 1 bushing in the front spring eye that fits into the frame bracket.
Then there is the 2nd one in the rear spring eye that fits into the shackle.
The last bushing would be in either the other end of the shackle or in the frame.
So each side should have 3 bushings for a total of 6 to do the rear suspension.

Hello Dave, my F250 has the Flexomatic so I need 4 bushings for one side. In my pictures above show this component from flexomatic.

Best regards

Manuel

Well that is a first for me
I would say if you have a local spring shop by you see them as they should be able to help.
Sorry I cant help more.
