rubber V.S. poly

[RAM MAN]

Anyone swapped out their rubber bushings with ones made from polyurethane ? They are supposed to tighten up your suspension and help with cornering etc. . . . just wondering how good a mod this is . . . .

Should reduce tire wear due to a more accurate geometry on front & rear end. Would firm up your suspension as well. From what I've seen there's a couple of choices for color as well. If you've lowered your truck with arms up front & shackels or de-arched leaf springs out back then you've already started.

they are a pretty good mod, especially on an aolder high miles vehicle. i put a set from hyperflex on my 1981 dodge that i had a couple years back. they definitely bring life back to a tired suspension and body mounts. like you said, they firm it up more than rubber so you get a little better handling. the only drawbacks are you get a little harsher ride and they like to squeak and creak sometimes, especially when the weather changes.

POLY IS DEFINATELY BETTER BUT YOU WILL RIDE A LITTLE HARDER THAN NORMAL. I THINK ITS WORTH IT THOUGH.

Anyone making poly-kits for the new Ram's yet?
