Stock Bushings & Hotchkis Leafs?

Will it hurt to run stock bushings in Hotchkis leaf springs?

They won't fit, but to my knowledge, it comes with new bushings anyways.

Even If they did fit I wouldnt suggest using them................Would wanna use a nice poly bushing for good performance to match the spring.

Well here's the thing. I bought a used set of 4" drop leaf springs that are Hotchkis. The guy I bought them from took the Polyurethane bushing out and pressed in what he said was the stock ones. I knew this when I bought them but wasn't worried about it. I figured they were the same size anyways. I wanna know if I can safely run them, or if something is messed up now?

Thanks for any help.
