well I know that polygraphite are the way to go as far as quality replacement bushings go but I was wondering if anyone on the forum is running energy suspension bushings on there trucks and if so any comments or pros/cons would help as well. I was thinking about getting a complete bushing kit and i can get a energy suspension kit for pretty cheap so thats why i was wondering how they performed.

I got energy suspension bushings in quite a lot of diffrent cars and trucks - I would recommend them - they last forever - no strange noises (don`t forget to lube them when you install those bushings...).
Just one thing - I wouldn`t use `em as engine or tranny mounts

O really why not? do they not hold up as well???

I installed the complete ES front end kit in a S10 i use to have and there good but they do make it alot firmer ride tho so be ready for that and as stated b4 use the lube!

When i do my '87 front end im gonna go with a high quality rubber set but for now the original stock rubber is still good!

I have SS solid engine mounts in my '87 and a ES tranny mount and i have nothin bad to say about it

Polygraphite is the way to go. You don't have lube them like poly.

I use polygraphite engine and tranny mounts. Boy do you feel shifts!!
