I never have ridden in a truck with poly mounts, this will be the first time. I asked opinions and the majority said to go with poly. So I.m just going to see how it rides. If i don't like it ill just get rubber.
Sorry, I didn't see your question about cab mounts. I put the poly on mine and as soon as I took a ride on the interstate the noise is the cab was much greater. I replaced them with rubber I got from LMC, and it was back to normal. LMC seems to be the only company offering rubber. Unfortunately, the core support mounts are already cracking.

I also found the poly mounts were too stiff on my shortie square. It transmitted a lot of vibration to the cab. If I ever do it again, I would go with rubber for sure.

Beautiful truck!

So yeah!! I took a 20 min ride up the road to register the truck and did notice the truck felt "stiffer' and felt the road more.. I guess that's how I would describe it. Ill see how it does in the next couple weeks and make a decision. How old are the mounts that they are already cracking?

Thanks for the input.

The mounts that cracked are the core supports, less than a year old. They may have been a bad batch? The cab supports are fine.
