Burb clip swap question

So I'm gearing up to swap the support out on my 87 truck with an 89 suburban. My question is, when I removed the support from the burb, the bolts and biscuits (bushings, whatever you want to call them) were trash. I went and looked up a new bolt kit, which is available, but they show different bolts/biscuits between the 87 truck and 89 burban.

Now I have to wonder, do I buy the kit made for the burban or for the truck? Does it really matter? I just know when I remove the support from the truck those bolts and biscuits will be trash as well and I'd like to have new ones sitting here to be installed.

With my luck, I'll need the bottom cups for the 87 and the upper stuff for the 89 and have to buy both kits or something. Never done a clip swap myself so again I have to ask those who have. Thanks in advance guys.

Everywhere I have said when it comes to buying new mounts/bushings, match the frame.

I would think that they are pretty close to the same on those. Probably wouldn't make much of a difference with either one. Surely some guys will post up that have done it. I know Joe231, BigArmZZ, TexasFunk, are just a few that have done it recently.

Are they really supposed to look this horrible? Have not pulled one out of the truck yet, but since the burb is 2 years newer, figured they would be ate up just about the same.
