PST Front End Kit
My front end needs to be rebuilt, and I was thinking about going to poly bushings instead of stock rubber ones. I want the truck to handle better, and I was told that poly bushings and mount will help tremendously.
Are there any drawbacks to having a poly front end kit?

I have heard that they squeak if they are not the polygraphite, but I have no personal experience with that. I can say from experience that poly makes the ride rougher. They do help handling, though, and they last a long time.

I talked to a guy at my local frame and wheel shop, he said I prolly wouldn't be able to tell the difference between rubber and polygraphite. From what I gathered from the people on this board, it makes a big difference.

Take my word for it, you will be able to tell the difference in ride quality. The upside is the handling will be great.
