    hey all-

    finally got an excellent 76+ frame to replace my 75- below frame for the JEEP...

    bought the Pro Comp 4" leaf lift to go on it, but I have a question...

    please don't take me to the town square and put me in the stockade for asking such a dumb question...

    on the kit, the springs have bushings already installed... one end has sleeves, one end does NOT... does anyone know which end goes toward the FRONT of the vehicle (sleeve or no sleeve?)

    does anyone know why there are sleeves in one end and not the other?

    I know the 2.5s go in the rear... just not sure about the other...

    TIA!

    No sleeves in the center of the bushing? I would think that the sleeve end goes to the fixed point and then when assembling the
    shackle end, a bolt with another loose sleeve? Any extra sleeve in the parts packages?

    that's what I was thinking too middle....

    in my over-zealous-ness, I failed to look in the box...

    nope they're not in there...

    I got shims, U bolts and stuff, but no 2nd set of sleeves...
