Post subject:  XHD leaf install question- which rear bushings?

Howdy

I bought 6 leaf springs for the back of my demon, and I knew I might have to do some extra work, but now that I finally have one of the old ones off I have some questions.

The new springs came with the front bushings installed. The front eye has a bigger sleeve than the stock 5 leaves- looks like 5/8" instead of 1/2". I plan to drill the hangers out.

The rear eye is my problem- there is no bushing in it. It looks like the same size as the stock bushing, so I can probably get graphite poly or stock 3 piece rubber? What are you running? Anybody for poly, or anybody that went poly and it squeaks to no end? Where did you buy yours?

Not trying to stir the poly/rubber debate, I just want to hear from satisfied or unsatisfied customers. I know I once had a squeaky car, I hated it!

I used poly bushings on my Duster with Formula S leafs, wouldn't use rubber on my cars. I didn't notice any squeeks, but if I did, I'd just turn the radio up. Bought them from Just Suspension along with all poly bushings and boots on the front end.
