I have access to a set of 1 ton springs and mounts but the spring eye rubber is bad. are these the same 1/2-3/4 ton eye rubber. More importantly are these available and where?
Thanks for any help...

Should be the same from 3/4 ton up to 2 ton.

I "think" the only way to get the rubber seals is in the shackle kits but I could be wrong. I haven't checked "all the vendors". I'd check around at some of the Spring shops as they may have some individual parts..... or get some dense type foam rubber and make your own. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | If you are referring to the top diagram: #3 is a front spring shackle kit (with rubber/cork "washers" (seals) and two bushings (for the spring eye at the front of the front spring and the frame mount)). #8 is the spring eye bushing for the rear of the front spring (no rubber seals). Part #7.435, Shackle Kit (front spring) - different parts for the 1/2&3/4 ton and for the 1 ton? Part #7.428, Front spring eye bolts are also different? But, I cannot find the 1-ton spring eye bushing (Part #7.104?) for the rear of the front spring? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 187 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 187 | If you are talking about the cork seals,Denny Graham made his own.Look on page 46 of his posts.

Sorry for all the confusion. I hope this clears it up..
doesnt look like they are so I should just look for 1/2 springs?
