M1008 Cucv Ls Swap Cadolet Build, long range Blazer Bash 2026 prep

Converting my M1008 from 6.2 Diesel to LQ9 power
Anyone ever have to trim leaf spring bushings to make them fit between the rear spring shackles? I have to do this to make the bushings fit. I got. The old springs out but the new springs and bushings are too wide for the spring shackles. I got the spring eye adjustment plate installed on the new springs and I was going to installed them and. We found that the bushings are too wide.

Like front of front hanger bushings? All the rest should be the correct installed width

I have had to trim the piece going into the eye because that section was slightly too long and there was a gap between the spring and bushing outer

Is it just the rubber part or the sleeve too
 
Rear spring shackle hanger, sorry for the confusion, bushing and sleeve are same length. Just don't fit between shackles.
