I put the poly in because it was all that was available, and I am sorry I
did. With the air bags in the springs and the Billstein shocks I loved the
ride until I added the poly body mounts.
IMO the combination was wrong.
Hold out for the rubber mounts.

Just got the new OPG catalog and they have a new product listing for
actual RUBBER body mount bushings. Only thing is, they are 3 times as much as
the Poly at about $299. I went though $200 worth of hassle changing the front
A-Arm bushings back to rubber from poly and $300 in cost to put the Poly
ones in before that. So I figure the extra $$ might be worth it. THese
really beed to be done soon on Elkenstein (If I care for it at all). The front
ones have the washers spitting out, and #2 on both sides the bolt is broken
and missing.
Here is the part: _http://www.opgi.com/p/suspension/24933/130/L240670.html_

For years, these have not been available. I think I will go this direction
when I get the money saved.
Let me know your opinions please. I almost bought the Poly ones last week.
I am getting close to finally doing this job.
Thanks,
JC
