250trubo, thank you!
I wasnt able to get it all done tonight. I left the one above the fuel tank for tomorrow. Im also going to have to order a few parts. The lower retainers on the rear mounts are junk. I will also need 2 7" bolts for the rear, hopefully I can find those locally tomorrow.
This is a tough job for one guy. If anyone is planning on doing this allow for a day and get a buddy to help. If you live in the rust belt like me a sawzall and grinder will help.

I finished up this project today. These bushings make a HUGE difference in the ride. You absolutely feel way more vibrations with the poly bushings. Bumps hurt a little more.
On a positve not. They give you a overall solid feeling a and more responsive truck. I really like that about them. Doesnt feel like a boat when I turn anymore.
Its going to take some more driving time to decide if I like them over the rubber bushings. Hopefully I can learn to deal with the extra vibrations, rubber bushings are expensive..

FordForever,

I got the kit from summit racing. The kit is the same for crewcabs and ex cabs. But be warned. These polyy bushings give you a pretty harsh ride. Ive decided today to take them out and go with rubber. I went on a 200 mile trip today and by the end of the trip I couldnt take it anymore.
If you want, ill sell you my ploy bushings when I get the rubber ones.
