I don't know if this question has been posted before (I didn't see it anywhere) but I was wondering where someone could purchase a set of body mounts for a 78 dodge power wagon. Thanks. |

I believe "Energy Suspension" makes a polyurathane body mount kit for our trucks... I bought one of their kits about 10 years ago.... |

Thanks Palomino. I did see those but I was told to get the factory style rubber ones and I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Do you like the polyurethane? I heard it makes the ride more rough compared to the rubber ones, what do you think? Ive also read that the poly lasts longer. Thanks again. |

The poly ones would be great for the body mounts, they don't affect anything and last longer. I think what you heard is that if you use poly bushings for your suspension parts such as springs, mopar a-arms, sway bars etc. it's a little stiffer ride and you pickup some more road noise/bumps/vibrations in the cab, plus they are pretty stiff to press in/install etc. And they cost more too. -jim |

There is a set of factory originals on e-bay they are pricey like anything else from this vender in SC. But if only original will do they are there. This is a great time to consider a slight body lift, a couple of extra inches always looks good. Classicironman |

Thanks for all the help. I don't need the rubber ones I just heard they make the ride a little softer. I couldn't find a rubber set anywhere, so I went ahead and ordered a polyurethane set, just for the body mounts. Hope they are not too difficult to install, thanks again. |

as long as you know how to put a bolt through a bushing you should be set! A piece a cake. -Jim |
