I got a pair from Napa and one from Car Quest about $35 each side.I have a pair for a 28 for $30 if interested.I have 4" springs too but I raised the spring buckets to fit them wish I would have gotten 6" lift shocks instead of 4" if you look around here a lot of people feel that way.

Got mine from Rockauto. I suggest staying away from 2 piece ones. I have heard they are a POS to adjust.

Two-piece bushings are infact MUCH easier to work with than solid one-piece bushings.
The degree of a one-piece (fixed) bushing cannot be adjusted at all, the only thing you can do is change it's orientation within the beam (which only by sheer luck will result in a correctly aligned frontend that doesn't pull to one side because the caster split can't be set correctly). Only way to know what exact degree bushing is needed beforehand is to throw it on a rack and get some measurements, otherwise you're just guessing.

With 2-piece bushings there's no need to swap back & forth with 0° bushings while on the rack trying to find what exact degree you need... Just reindex it for a different degree and reinsert.

Ingalls, Spicer (AKA Raybestos), Moog, and Specialty Products Inc. all make fully adjustable 2-piece bushings. Of those, the Spicer ones seem a bit above the others in quality.

Clarification: the 2 piece ones are EASY to adjust. And 2 piece adjustable ones are preferred amongst most people.

1 pc bushings aren't adjustable, they are fixed at a certain degree (example: 2*).

Gotcha, why not get 4 degrees so you can have a little more if you need it?

Sorry didn't mean to talk you out of it. I know my one piece ones are easy and I know someone else that bought 2 piece ones and ended up replacing them with one piece ones because they were too much of a pain.

No worries :icon_thumby:

If you put a little anti-seize on them before installation you will thank yourself next time they need to be adjusted.
