cab cushions
Will new ones make a noticeable difference? What about radiator cushions?
Thanks! Jason

Replaced mine about a year ago. Noticed a big improvement in the feel of the truck while driving. Replaced both the body and rad supports all at once. Of course my original mounts were shot and I could actually wiggle the bolts by hand, had to cut 4 of the 6 off with a grinder, ordered replacement bolts from LMC.

Replaced mine with ProThane polyurethane mounts in 1995. They still look like new, whereas the rubber ones start to sag and deteriorate after few years. While you have the entire rear end apart, use polyurethane bushings for your trailing arms and track bar, also.
