Question Bushings for rear Fabtech basic shocks

Hey guys, been looking online but havin an awfully hard time. I need to get a new Bushing/sleeve kit for my rear shocks. I have a 2004 (NBS) and the Fabtech basic kit (with basic shock out in the rear). When doing the install, musta skipped right over the part where it tells you to install bushing into shock... install sleeve.... * now install second sleeve into first sleeve! OOPS. So, anyone know my best bet for picking up a set ? Again, just looking for bushings and sleeves. This may just end up being a perfect excuse to upgrade the back shocks... Thanks for any help.

I did the same thing... I just added a larger bolt and it worked fine for me. If you bushing are to for gone, then I would call Fabtech direct and see if you get a nice person on the phone.

If not, new shocks would be next...

the rubber bushings are fine, Looks like sleeve may not be "truly" round anymore... not sure if the bigger bolt would work because of this... but its worth a try. If not, looks like I'll be giving Fabtech a call. Thanks again

Called Fabtech directly, they said I am far from the first to make this mistake and they will ship out all the hardware and new bushings right away. Best part... it was on the house.

Like I had said before they have some good poeple working there and if you get the right one on the phone they will help you out. Good deal.

Can the Rize boys do this??? (that is call up rize and get some parts for free..) BTW I like the Rize kit, just never had enough money for it... I just like ripping on the rize boys.
