Review on Enhanced Prothane 7-110 Red Body and Cab Mount Bushing Kit - Comprehensive 20-Piece Set by Joel Gumbiner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No Steering System Instructions

Firstly please note that the photos on Revain do not match the colour. I ordered the red one as it was cheaper for some reason. I think all of these bushing kits are basically the same, but I was disappointed to see that Prothane comes with absolutely no specific application instructions to help you figure out which bushing goes where and which shims go. It's not entirely obvious, especially since the factory rear mounts are rectangular and round. Here are some tips: Brackets come in pairs that fit together. The protruding part that is part of another is always at the top. The three front brackets are the same, they are large. The two rear kits use all washers and included bushings top and bottom. The larger of the two moves to the rearmost position next to the rear bumper. The lack of instructions is very bad in my opinion. Energy Suspension comes with (barely but better than nothing) instructions, but they seem to go out of their way to make it difficult to find the right kit for your application. The part number for the '80 K5 is Energy Suspension 3.4118. Another option I would do is order from Offroad Design. It's a bit more, but I understand more complete instructions are included. Even if the instructions from them were bad, you could reach them by phone.

Pros
  • Mounting Bushes
Cons
  • No Automatic Transmission
