Bushing Help

Im looking to buy a set of cab and radiator support bushings and a 2" body lift kit. I currently have poly cab bushing but need radiator support bushings. I have been told to go back to rubber all around by a couple people due to stress on the cab and what not. What are yall opinions on this and where is the best place to get what i need for a reasonable price?

Thanks,
Terry J.

Terry,

After using one set of poly cab mounts I went back to the rubber ones. I noticed quite a bit more road vibration with the Poly mounts and think because of that you would get more stress on cab components, especially with a lift. They don't flex, period.. and that is what body mounts are made to do.

As far as best place to buy you will just have to do some research. Some vendors have better prices but shipping is high and some have higher prices with cheap shipping. I buy all of my parts from a local vendor so I can pick them up to save on shipping.

That is a really good price. Do you remember what the shipping was on them?
