Bushings
I recently purchased a 85 gmc sierra classic 2wd. First owner of the truck installed a lift kit on it years ago and I want to lower it to normal height. What company sells a complete rubber cab,radiator and bed bushing kit with hardware? Brothers only has two out of the three kits available.Prefer rubber over poly bushings.

Re: Bushings
I bought the entire rubber bushing set from LMC not long ago. They all fit well, but the core support bushings are already cracking.

Re: Bushings
Correct no bed bushings. Unfortunately I do not know the bolt size.
