Leaf spring rear bushing question

Hi guys quick question on these leaf spring rear bushings. I bought new springs and bushings from espo, looking at the bushings they are longer than the sleeve on the spring. Im guessing that I cut the bushing down so it fits the sleeve or is it meant to be longer and compresses that much when the shackle bolt is tightened?
