Incase anyone is curious, I called three local Dodge dealership to inquire
about the cost of all new body mount bushings. No place could give me exact
pricing. From what once place told me, each mount I need 1 upper bushing and
1 lower bushing, per mount. So that tells me I need 6 upper mounts and 6
lower mounts. Can anyone verify this? This would be rather expensive, price
pending though. Do all 6 mounts utilize the same bushings, both in thickness
and in diameter? It would be nice to have a parts dept with some qualified
counter people. Oh well. I have searched and searched online, and havent
found anyone who makes polyurethane bushing replacements.......grrrr. So I
guess when/if I do a body lift, I am going to have to just buy new rubber
ones from the dealer. The rear most bushings on my truck are currently in
sad shape. I am sure I could get away with just replacing these rear
bushings, but since I will have access to them when doing the body lift, I
may as well replace all of them. They are all sold individually, not as a
kit. Also, I am pretty sure the cab portion only requires these rubber
bushings. I have counted 6 being
under my regular cab Dakota.
-Front mounts, behind front bumper
-Middle mounts, behind front fender wells
-Rear mounts, close to front of bed

Thanks for any and all info.
