Silicone body mounts
Does anyone know the difference between the Beech Lane body mounts at $388.00 and the S&B at $699.00? Both have good ratings. I know that that the Beech Lane doesn’t come with bolts but other than that don’t know any difference.

Reviews on Amazon look good but that doesn't speak about the longevity and quality of these body mounts. They also don't include a new set of bolts which if I'm installing new body mounts, I'd want new OEM body mount bolts. But that's just me.
The S&B kit comes with a new set of OEM bolts.

To be honest, reading through S&Bs warranty on the body mounts as opposed to a company just listing that the body mounts HAVE a lifetime manufacturers warranty, without listing the manufacturer, doesn't really make me feel confident when it comes to their warranty.
I have the S&B body mounts on my radar when I need a set. Cheaper doesn't always add up to better IMO.

I put the S&Bs on my 2001 7.3 Diesel and have been very happy with them. If the body mounts on my 2022 F350 ever need replaced I'll go with S&B again.

I've been putting off dealing with my body mounts for about a year now. Didn't think they were "that bad" yet. Last weekend I was under the truck and noticed the right rear mount was beginning to disintegrate and chunks of foam were missing. I checked the others and yep.... it's time.
I went back and forth between the Beech Lane and the S&B. Price being the biggest factor. New OEM bolts don't cost the $300+ price difference.
But in the end I decided that since this is going to be my forever truck.... I'll go ahead and buy once, cry once, and be done with it. Ordered a set of S&B thru Summit Racing and they were delivered the next day. Gonna try to get them installed this weekend if the rain holds off...

Any way you can post the link? I'm surprised Summit had them in stock, seems like the last few items I was going to buy they were on backorder with months-out estimates for delivery (so ended up what I needed elsewhere)

Strange that there are no listings at all for the '20 though, but I'm finding similar results for other parts at different aftermarket vendors for 2020+ parts, it seems.

No, not bad, just keeping up with them in case they're needed later. Never hurts to know where things can be had when needed.

They must still be on the drawing board.
