What do you guys think of these? This is only right side. I read to stay away from poly and trust the rubber bushings. What symptoms could bad mounts cause? Overall, I love driving this rig but it's just never felt solid when I drive. Had it almost 4 years and bought from a dealer. 35-40mph driveline vibe, loud creaking, tires feel wobbly after dumping stock sway bar for Currie anti-rock. You think fresh body mounts will roll some of that out?

Some of those bottom rubbers look like they need replacing but I don't think they are contributing to the issues you're having. Have you checked the usual suspects? Control arm bushings, driveshaft u-joints, tire condition, pressure and alignment?

I just did mine. Bought the crown kit from amazon. Also installed a savvy aluminum body lift while I was at it.
I have a 97 with 209K, all stock.

Sure did! Those were all the first things I did. Basically replaced everything except steering gear box and associated shafts. I rechecked the alignment too. Right at 1/16” in the front.
 
You notice any difference in ride quality?
Lol. I should have prefaced that the engine blew and I’m currently undergoing a rebuild. I put the mounts in the other day, and I’m getting ready to install the freshly rebuilt engine in it within the next few days. After a paint job, I’ll get it out in the road and let you know.

Sweet! Best of luck in getting back on the road with it soon.
