Bushings: leaf and parabolic the same?

[crankin]

The PO installed paras on the truck and I have no idea who made them. I am looking to replace the bushings and was wondering how to find out what size I need. Are the bushings the same size that are on the leafs?

Some yes, some no... Time to measure a couple.

Standard diameter is 1 -1/16 and I think most of the UK sold parabolics are the same and need frequent replacement if used hard off road.

Rocky Mounain uses larger ( 1-1/8?)in order to accommodate greater flex. You can tell if they are RM ones as the ends of the bushing are hard steel knurled lile a crown to bite into the shackle plates.'

I got one in the last go round, (welcome to the club!) it will most likely be about 2-3weeks after the publication came out, so don't fret if it takes a while.:)
