polyurethane cab mounts help

I am getting ready to order cab mounts for my 85 C20 longbed 2WD.
I need a recommendation on brand and part number. My main concern is best fit. I am looking for as close to factory fit as possible. dont care for the "kits" that look to much like a universal fit cab bushings, such as all the flat washers and the smaller diameter than stock bolts and all that garbage. I would like to use the original bolts and shaped washers if possible.
Thanks.

I have been purchasing energy suspension polyurethane bushings of ebay for my truck. Just got my last ones. Now I have a complete K30 truck Energy suspension bushings all NEW. The fit like a glove. As factory.

I've used Energy Suspension sets on two of my trucks. They fit as good as factory in all ways and come with real nice grade 8 hardware to replace the rusty O.G. stuff.

Re: polyurethane cab mounts help

Will using the poly cab mounts compared to (new)rubber change the harshness of the ride?

Re: polyurethane cab mounts help

I have the energy suspension also and I have noticed any degraded ride quality. My cab and spring bushings were so far gone it wasn't even funny. The back of my cab no longer dips when I hit bumps.

Re: polyurethane cab mounts help

No big deal on the hijack, Keep talking about the parts, fit and ride quality. LOL.
