I installed a set of poly body mount bushings from 4crawler a long time ago but removed them and stuck with my stock rubber bushings. The poly seemed to transmit more road bumps/vibration. But it may not be as bad if you are not replacing all of them with poly. Also I imagine something is better than nothing LOL.

I think I still have them stashed away somewhere, I will check.

I have not yet attempted to do any replacement ,due to the fact I am not sure if i need all 10 bushings, the rt mount under the dash seems to be the worst.pulled the rug back and the floor is cracked. The bolt head is rusted so badly that I won,t be able to put a socket on it. I did check out 4 crawler off road and could not find the part...Auto Parts Warehouse has a universal bushing kit that only supplies 2 bushings...I would prefer to change all of them . if I could find a kit that would give me all 10 bushings I would be all set. hopefully some one can direct me to a supplier...thanks

Ummm... did you not bother to check the link I supplied? 4Crawler even put pics of the 10 bushings you need.

If your floor is cracked, you're basically f'd.

You need to cut and weld a new piece there, or find a way to fix it.
 
I'd just like to mention that I did 4Crawlers 1" body lift AND I also did a complete body mount swap. I now have poly all around and I'm quite happy.

Pulled out all the seats quarter trim panels,rug was wet...loosened off 7 of the 10 body mounts ...both frt bolts under the dash and the rt rear under pass seat seized. drivers floor pan is very close to the flinstone car. I guess I will be busy over the next month. Going to check my a/m supplier for a floor pan.

that was very helpfull ...great step by step photos. should that steering shaft be disconnected reguardless of lift being installed. i plan on replacing with stock rubber mounts.
