Spring Relocation Question

I have a question to those of you using sliders. The aluminum bushing that came with the kit measures .950 OD and the eye on the spring measures .897. Don't all A body leaf springs have the same ID? I realize the bushing needs to fit tight but .053 seems too much. I can chuck the bushing up in the lathe and turn it down .030 or .040. If I press it into the spring the way it is i'm affraid it will s[/IMG]rink the ID and bind on the inner bushing. Have any of you run across this?
