C bushing degree help
Its been a while but Im back
Guys Im helping a buddy of mine who just bought a 79 F150 4x4 351M/C6/205 short bed and we are going through it. He wants to replace all the worn out sloppy bushings under the front end and I need to know what degree C bushings we need. The PO used a piece of angle welded to the frame to drop the coil bucket about 3" so my question is do I order the 4* bushings for the 3" lift or the 2* bushings for stock lift. Ive got to buy some stuff for myself from JBG so Im planning on making one big order to save some S&H. Any help would be appreciated. Also has anyone ever seen the C bushings in yellow? because my buddys truck is best described as YELLOW not to be confused with yellow. Its that bright!

I have lowered coil buckets on these two inches and left the 2* bushings, and actually needed a little bit more, but 4* was a little too much. I went with 2* and it went well. I would imagine that the 3" drop in the bucket is also going to place you right in the middle, but could get away with 4* with little troubles, and I would lean towards the 4*.
The yellow bushings I believe were replacements from superlift, or rough country. Both of these used yellow poly c-bushings.
I guess 1 vote for 4*
