W00t W00t, just ordered my Cab Bushings :)

Got the Energy Suspension Cab/Body Mount Bushing kit from Summit for $57 to my door. They'll be here tommorow. (Living 4 hours from the Reno Summit Store DOES have it's advantages.)
So, I'll get them put on, and be on my way to no more unlevel truck

I definately will. Yes, these are Poly, but not polyGRAPHITE. (Although I don't think these will squeak, lol.)

It's not hard at all...the only thing that was semi-hard, was the core support mount. Took me 30 minutes to figure out how to take it off, LOL. Once I figured it out, the other side took about 10 minutes. (That's from the time the jack was pumped up, to the time the jack was let down.)
Most of my mounts were good, except the passenger side core support..it basically fell apart when I took it off.

Seems a LITTLE more level than it was..but there's still a difference. The truck also takes corners a lot better now. (Not as much body shift.)
