I think the side w/o the bushings are the shackle side and the idea behind it is that most will install their own desired bushing, whether poly or Del a Lum.

Most I know run rubber up front and the GW bushings out back.

No problem. They (DSE) probably assume everyone knows this already.

I have the GW Del A Lum shackle kit if you need it. Brand new for a good price.
