I have been trying to decide if I want to go poly or rubber. However, the only kit I can find that comes with hardware is a rubber body bushing kit from lmc for like $170.

The body bushing kit I have is the one from lmc. They are rubber bushings. I was told the poly have a rougher ride as in you can feel every little bump and the rubber are softer more like factory. A couple guys who have ran both told me this so I went with the rubber.

Got my tie rods and everything installed today. Got off work early and painted them and put them on. Cant install the gearbox yet had to take it off to remove the pitman arm to put my new one in and broke my puller trying to get it off. Ill cut it off tomorrow with a matabo wheel since I dont want to buy another puller just for that.

I also didnt think about it at the time of instalation but I should have painted the new spindles and calipers im going to have to address that issue shortly since I noticed they are begining to rust up.

Sounds like I will probably end up going with rubber then. My 87 4x4 Longbed rides rough enough as is.

This little 20 dollar dipstick is the reason behind this whole build
