Body Mounts

Where have you ordered your body mounts from and what do you think of the price, quality, and did they have them in stock?

Re: Body Mounts

I have ALWAYS gotten mine from Summit or Jegs. I order Energy Suspension or Prothane. I dont like factory rubber bushings. Price has always been VERY fair....60-70 bones.

Re: Body Mounts

Not to hijack too much here, but what is the best/easiest way to replace them, assuming you go with stock height replacements? (if it makes a difference, I have a two post lift)

No, the cab mounts. I'm going to do those next, but I can't go out and spend all my money once. I can't hardly find the time to do this stuff lol.

Interested in doing this too. I'm not installing a body lift.

Re: Body Mounts

i've heard the poly-urathane bushings ride a lot "stiffer" than the rubber replacements from LMC (for example).
i need to replace mine as well, so i'm glad you started a thread on this subject.
