I am all for rubber but my LMC kit started cracking pretty bad after a year.

What poly kit did you purchase and from where?

Here's the Energy Suspension poly kit I used

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ENS-3-4110G/

You will also need to buy assembly lube (use it or you'll have squeaks) and bolts. I had to do some shimming to during the install to make everything sit right. Got the shims from McMaster-Carr. 3"x3" stainless shim with tab. They're available in various thicknesses.

Thanks for your replies and advice. Think I will go with the energy suspension poly kit.

Ok. Been searching for an hour for this post I came across about 3 months ago. It may have been a build but the guy had pics of the body mounts and bolt/nuts used along with the grade.

I need the lengths of body mount bolts for each position and the grade of steel.

Not really an exact answer to the last question... but an easy (not cheap) solution...
ORD: Off Road Design has a 1" body lift kit that comes with the correct extended length bolts. I will probably go poly with the 1" kit so I dont have to search for washers and bolts....

Grade 8 would be overkill so probably grade 5...
