It was a little more involved than I first thought, but the truck is solid once more. I knew that at least a couple of mounts were bad, but when we got it into the shop and looked, three cab mounts were bad, two were worse than I thought, and both core support mounts were bad. One quite bad. The shop made up plates and made everything solid again.
I was worried, because of what others were saying, that the ride would be really harsh with polly mounts, but it's much better than before. It's a two wheel drive and always had a really nice ride to it, so I'm super happy.

So glad to hear you're pleased with the post-repair ride quality with polyurethane cab mounts. I have them on my truck but the truck remains an unfinished project, so I'm left wondering what to expect. As you have probably seen, the reviews are somewhat divided.

I have them on Frank. Someone here commented on them giving a "more informed ride".

I agree. You can feel the little bumps like tar strips but they cushion the big hits like potholes well.

Correct. I found the same. I deliberately hit a few pot holes, no shortage of them here, and was pleasantly surprised at how well it felt.

One thing that I didn't mention. The shop that did the work said that they normally just tighten them down "until they squish a bit".
I made sure that they were torqued to 55 ft/lbs with blue locktight, just like the manufacturer recommend. That could play a roll in ride quality too.
