James, I know your truck is lifted and far from stock but can you tell any difference in the ride since you installed the new body mounts?

very much so. i have not decided if i like them or not. i can now hear the lift pump and fuel cooler fan in the truck when the engine is not running, the tires transfer more noise into the cab at low speed and you feel more little bumps in the road.
the up side is you feel more connected to the chassis, the bigger/harsher bumps feel smoother but that may be in my mind or the old mounts were just that worn, i didnt get any extra squeaks or rattles from them but my interior never rattled or made noise, at highway speeds i feels/sounds the same.
im curious how the ride will be over the highway expansion joints. i didnt hit any on my initial test drive. if those get worse, im not keeping these in. These things do have a shit ton of preload in them when you tighten the bolts down, like 1.5" worth of cranking down before the metal washer hits the top steel insert stem. i may try loosening the bolts up a few turns and see if ride/noise transfer improves. if i cant make myself like them, ill pull them and put dormans in. i really dont want to have to do that cause i dont trust that they will last but we will see.
