Replacement body mounts

Anybody have a recomendation on a replacement body mount kit? I'm thinking about the energy suspension kit but it doesent come with the new bolts. What kit are you guys using that are hassle free, if that is even possible.

Re: Replacement body mounts

I did the same thing. Poly body mounts and bolts/washers/etc from LMC.

As far as knowing where everything goes the LMC catalog has good visuals.

Re: Replacement body mounts

Did you guys have to use shims when using the new mounts?

Re: Replacement body mounts

bump: I got the energy suspension kit too and was hoping someone could tell me what bolts exactly I need to order from LMC or other to make sure I have everything.

I went to LMC's site and it was very descriptive. This is what I came up with. If you already have the energy suspension kit this is all that should be needed. Maybe one of you guys that have already went through the trouble could verify this for me. I assume this order would have to be doubled for the complete set of hardware.

Re: Replacement body mounts

Has anybody else noticed that the Energy Suspension body mount kit is taller than stock? I'd have to go back and measure, but IIRC the mounts were 1/2" - 1" taller than the stock body mounts.
