    Since the original mounts were just chunks of rubber tire (maybe 1/4" thick when new) you're not going to be able to avoid a small amount of body lift in replacing them.

    I figured 9/16" would not offer too much of a lift - if any. These mounts have to do a better job than an old tire!

    I bought a set of those from him. IThey were the Energy Suspension brand. You get 14 in a box. It took forever to get them.

    For the $$ why not just order them from 4wd Hardware?

    Are the 4wd hardware parts worth the extra money? That's why I'm looking for opinions on these mounts. If they are junk, then I'll avoid them.

    I ordered a set and got them in about a week. More ups than him on time. Hieght sounds right. I double stacked mine for a little lift. May not be right but it will work.

    10:1 th eBay guy is selling the same mounts as 4wd hardware...I doubt they're making them and there are only so many suppliers.

    Who would you rather try and return something to?

    Me...I'd pay a couple dollars more to not suffer the eBay experience...

    eBay has always been good to me. With a feedback score of 8677, he doesnt seem to be a fly by night operation.

    They are $20 mounts. I think I may take my chances after getting a bit more input from those that have bought these.

    The $20 vs $30 price difference isn't a deal breaker, but I figured if anyone would apprecaite a bargain, it would be the owner of "SSDUTCH"!!!

    I cut up a mud flap off an 18 wheeler for my body mounts. It was cheap, easy and they worked great.

    I walked in and bought Energy Suspension mounts for about $25 here locally
    I used the black ones, happy with them.
