The front spring hangers for the rear springs? I already have a shackle flip for the rear hangers.

Yep. I guess its no cheaper tho. Last time i did it i stole em off a parts rig i had. Interesting that gm still has them tho

I stayed after work yesterday and installed the new cab mounts. Here are some pics. Some of them I had already hit with the impact in the pic.

Did you notice that it was noisier or anything negative that makes you wish you would have gone rubber? Or do you feel like it was worth it regardless just to get some new bushings in there?
 
I'm sure it might be a tad smoother over big bumps with the rubber mounts but I don't really care about that. It was pretty much worth it no matter what I would've put in it though. It's way better than before.
 
I guess i could always just do the pollys for now and do the rubbers when i have mo money and do my "body resto".
 
The rubber ones from LMC are only a little more. A complete set for my 1988 V10 Suburban was like $200 with shipping I believe.

Well I got a little bit done yesterday. Not going as fast as I planned, but oh well.

The front is almost done, just need new drag links for the steering shaft and need to hook up the driveshaft.
