Default front swaybar bushing brackets

Happy Spring everyone! I am getting into the spirit and getting ready to install 30mm and 26 mm swaybars on my 95. I just got the new poly bushings in today, but on the D bushings, the metal brackets that you bolt the bushing to the frame with were not included. Are these interchangeable for all sizes, or do I have to order them sepretly? I got energy suspension P/N 3-5142G from suspension.com. if anyone has any experiance with this I'd appreciate any help before I tear into it.

so theorectically, you could upgrade swaybar sizes and just bore out the stock bushings?

Yup. I'm sure it's cheaper for GM to have one part number for the brackets, and multiple part numbers for the rubber.

Yes. You should just buy the bushings you need. Check for part numbers at www.suspension.com

You should have no problems with the stock brackets. I just finished putting in my 30mm sway bar as well (stock was 26mm) and reused the stock brackets.

Bought the same front kit 3.5142G from suspension.com yesterday and the rear kit 3.5151G as well. Both kits come with end link set but only the rear is available with brackets.
