I removed these off my 90 K5 and replaced with DIY4X’s version. Purchased the truck with these installed so I have no idea how old they are. The bushings look to be in usable/decent shape. Could use a quick clean and a repaint to be as good as new!

Looking for $80 shipped

what, in your opinion, is better about diy4x stuff versus these? interested. But I'm also interested as to why you're changing them out. thank you!
 
They’re both the same quality wise, they are just built for different applications....kinda of. The diy4x version is designed with the 52” spring swap in mind and are thinner to be tighter with the narrower spring.

both can be used for either spring type with spacers or different spring bushings depending on the setup. I’m switching to the b52 front bracket so i wanted to simplify what width bushing i needed
 
gotcha! I have an a-bomb already. So how different are the bushings between these mounts? if i have the ORD rear hanger and shackle from you, and a 52" spring ( which i was planning to do anyway) what is the size difference? Will that difference cause lateral movement while driving?
 
You would need to run a Poly bushing with a wider shoulder. Just like an aftermarket lift spring.
