[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1443340, member: 17493"] Its real easy to grind a little of the end of the sleeve if the sleeve is too wide to fit in the hanger. Or it is real easy to use a washer or two as a shim if the sleeve is too narrow I prefer the sleeved type of bushing. Then you can crank them down tight and things stay square better. On springs and shackle hangers with no sleeve you then need to rely on locknuts to keep it tight cuz with no sleeve you can actually tighten it till it bends the mounts ears in and squishes out the bushing over time. Plus a locknut is not keepeing it tight, just keeping it from backing off. With no sleeve to firmly mount against just and a locknut you have no way to keep the shackle/spring eye square and tight/firm. [/QUOTE]
