Stock springs/B52s question

[brokenparts]

At work so I can't measure and I can't remember if 52" springs have the same eyelet/bushing width as the stock springs. Tried a search and can't find what I'm looking for. I'm thinking about changing direction with my build and already have the "a-bomb" bumper and would like to use some stock length front 4" lift springs I just picked up on a donor rig I just bought. Thanks.

Factory front springs are wider. Most aftermarket springs are not.

I think Kert makes "thick washers" for this.

I think Kert makes "thick washers" for this.

My concern is that the a-bomb/b52 mount (inside dimension) for the spring would be too narrow for the spring eyelet/bushing. I can't remember if it was the 52 inch spring itself was too wide or that the stock poly bushing was too wide... which begs the question if you can get a narrower bushing for the stock spring.

I am hoping that 82355 is correct and the aftermarket springs I have are narrow"er" and can fit inside the b52/abomb mount.

Oh I see, makes sense.

For those that might be looking up this info in the future. Looks like the actual spring on everything that I measured was 2.5" in width. The bushing is what made it wider between the widths. The width of the stock hanger is 3.5". The pictures are at a weird angle. The width of the smaller bushings is 3". All of my springs were aftermarket...
