Default rear suspension

Hi, i am currently refreshing my rear suspension with new bushings. My question is, what are the bushings called that hook onto the end of the spring? they have a "rod" and a bushing at each end that goes through the end of the spring. Sorry about the bad description but thats the only way i can describe it without showing you. thanks.

I think the name changes slightly. Rear spring bushing.

Just about everyone has kits. The kits might have more than you want to change though. Generally include the lower shock mount.

Just as a look seexxxx

If you look along the side bar there are a few suppliers.

Caution: If you need longer bolts thier Extended Bolts are only 7" long.
Only 5/8" longer than the stock bolts.
