quick 4x4 body mount question
 
I was just going to order the total 4x4 body mount package from lmc but was also considering energy suspension, but energy's kit doesnt look complete to me. What did you all use and do you have any recommendations?

The energy kit is a good kit, I have used their stuff twice, once for 2wd and now 4x4 and have had no issues as long as you saved some of your old bolts for front and rear of cab.

With energy suspensions kit you must re-use or BUY NEW BOLTS. The other thing is you must re-use your metal tube spacers off of your truck. They go inside of the bumpers. The front is just a tube and the rear is a tube with a washer welded on the top. The rear one gets cut down to some dimension given in the energy suspension instructions. On my truck these were rusted enough that I could cut off the rubber mount to measure them and make new ones. I have dimensions here if you need them.

I wouldn't use urithane body mount cushions at all for any reason. Rubber is the way to go. There have been several write up about those mounts on these boards about how they are hard on the bodies. WES

I just ordered the lmc kit because like wes said its rubber and was in there stock and I want the whole body level and nice so I figure I should go with the stock setup :)
