Body mounts AGAIN
Hey folks, & thanks for the add FTE.
I’ve been browsing this forum for years, got a ton of great info. But now I have a question I can’t find a current answer on.
My work truck is a 2011 F350 that I bought used in 2016.
about 5 yrs ago I replaced the body mounts with Dorman (on recommendation, BIG mistake!).
A couple of them failed at 3 yrs, the rest followed soon after.
Whats the consensus go-to for replacement body mounts? I’m looking at S&B, but they haven’t been around that long to be time tested and I couldn’t find a thread after I think 2021. Any suggestions?
Looks like I can get the set with hardware for around $500, price must have come down because that’s about what I paid for the Dormans in 2020.
Hopefully retiring in 6 yrs so I want to keep the beast on the road until then.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!

I've put Energy Suspension Polyurethane mounts on two of my trucks (after making the Dorman mistake on one of my trucks first) and a friends truck, no complaints and would absolutely buy Energy Suspension Polyurethane mounts again.
And, they're about 1/2 the price of the S&B silicone mounts

I have ridden is one other truck that had silicon mounts , I couldn’t tell a difference between it and my truck with the polyurethane mounts. The owner of the truck with S&B silicon mounts couldn’t tell any difference either, if there is a difference, it isn’t much.
There is a big difference between blown out stock mounts riding metal-on-metal and any body mount that’s still in good shape ( even the crappy Dorman replacements). But a big difference between polyurethane and silicon mounts that are both in good shape ,,,,no.

Thanks that's helpful. Probably go that route too, why spend the bucks if its not much difference.
The one good thing about the Dormans, I know the exact location of every pothole in town. Surprised I haven't been pulled over for DUI swerving to avoid them!
