Installing offset bushes before buying lift kit??

[Chilli27]

Hey guys,
Ive have been slowly giving the old girl some love underneath, as time and budget allow. So far completed hubs and bearings, diff/transfer seals, unis and shaft service.
The bushes let go in the leading arms last week so I jumped the gun and I've ordered complete oem rubber bush kit with 2deg offset bushes to allow for a fare basic 2" shock and spring kit which is yet to be decided on or purchased.

Question is, i want to install the bushes and get her up and going again now, and then worry about shocks and springs after.
Bushes came with no paper template to work off either. How do I go about positioning the bushes in a close enough position?

Cheers and sorry for long winded post.

They won’t last best to use OEM bushings and get castor plates, radius arms, or castor correction brackets. The plates and brackets are pretty inexpensive and will last a lifetime.

There is no such thing as an oem offset bushing.
Prevailing wisdom is that aftermarket bushings, especially offset ones, will have sorry durability. I would replace with oem and correct castor after the lift, if needed, with correction plates or arms if you want to be fancy.
Correcting now would give you heavy understeer

Like others have said, after market bushings are not worth messing with.

Get some OEM bushings!!
