New leaf spring?

I'm installing a new leaf spring with poly bushings. The old springs have cups on the ends do I need to remove those install them in the new spring?

Hi hst,
You could remove them and transfer but the cups are readily available new so you might want to order some.
The cup is pretty easy to install using a small hammer to peen over the cup's flange.
Regards,
Alan

I could not find just the caps in my parts search and eventually I will be re-doing my Springs in the front and rear end. But it a project I will get into next year or the year after.

They do sell a bolt kit with Poly bushings if you choose to replace just the bolts and caps.

If you wanted all new bolts in the rear end they also sell a kit for this.
