Leaf Spring Bushing Replacement
#21
I typically order from Alcan Spring or if you have a local spring shop they'll bend 'em up for you.
You need to know spring width (should be 2.5" on a 1/2t), stock diameter (probably 14mm or 9/16?) and leg length which can be approximate. Also specify square or round bend. Since Dodge chose the stupid spring plate under the axle you should need square bend.

Don't order anything Husky Spring from RA. Total garbage. Note aftermarket will likely be longer and you can trim to length once snugged. Aftermarket also runs the threads much "higher" so you're less likely to run out of threads if you order a little long.

Thanks for the information; I measured my leaf springs and confirmed the measurements, 2 1/2" spring width, 9/16" diameter (roughly), and 7.75" overall length. I ordered a set of new ones from https://uboltstore.com/ per AtomicDog's recommendation. Thanks everyone for the assistance!
