I got a set of body mounts from Energy Suspension. There is a debate on rubber vs poly, but I figured its a truck and its going to ride rough and make noise anyway.


This is my logic...
I would remove the cage and then the body. Check the body for prior damage or repair. Next, make sure the frame is straight and true. (put it on a frame table/machine at a collision shop if you want to go the extra mile.) From there, use the new body mounts to reinstall the body. Then bolt the hard top back on. This is where you my need to pull or stretch the windshield frame. I saw where someone use ratchet straps to pull it into alignment. Once the doors and hard top all meet reasonably well, tack weld in some bracing so you can cut out the rust that needs to be replaced.
