This may not help you, but I don't think there would be enough room to get the mounts out by lifting the cab without pulling the column loose. If your ragjoint has ever been replaced then it's just 2 bolts attaching the column to the steering box. I just went ahead and pulled mine so I could do the whole frame while I was at it.

As for the bushings, I bought the rubber. I didn't want to stiffen the truck up any, but to most people there wouldn't be a big enough difference for it to really matter.

Keep in mind that these are strictly my opinions.
