Just curios if anyone knows of a place to get some polyurethane leaf and shackle bushings at a good price..I have seen some on ebay but it is only the ones for the leaf and they are asking $45 and $10 for shipping..JC Whitney catalog is saying $19-$53
What does a set of these usually go for price wise? I just want to pay to much if someone knows of anything cheaper... Appreciate the help ..

 

I got my front kit from summitracing.com they usually have decent prices and for where I live the stuff usually gets to me in 2 days with regular shipping.

 

Personally if you 4x4 in it I would skip on the poly bushings in the control arms and leaf springs. They actually limit the already limited flex in a IFS.

 

Thanks guys so far my blazer hasnt really seen any off road fun yet..But I do plan for it in the summer. I know that it most likely wont see any super heavy off road or rock climbing anytime soon.But I do plan to take it to some minor trails and I plan to camp over the summer up North Michigan so some of the ways back into were I plan to go will be the most off road it will see for a bit..
So you say it would actually be better to just stay with the stock rubber over the polyurethane then..Interesting... I`m hearing mixed from numerous numbers of people offline also..Just figured it may be a good idea to just change those out at the same time I get the shackles on there.
So if its more on the road your saying it would be good and off road the rubber is better then..Maybe I should just get new rubber ones then? Anyone else have opinions here...Would love to hear more of them...
Again thanks guys much appreciated..

 

I'm a big fan of poly, matter of fact everything on mine has been swapped out to it. I did however go back to rubber in the control arms and leaf springs. I might put some back in the rear but IMHO poly is not the right material for control arms even on a road queen. The firmness people claim they feel from it is actually the front arms binding up. Even when greased up the poly is sticky and doesn't allow the arms to move freely. If you want firm look up derlin or steel bushings for the front. Don't expect any flex out of them like a 4x4 needs tho.

Now if you are wanting to replace the motor mounts, trans mount, sway bar mounts, or cab mounts I'll hype up poly all the way and even run all those on my blazer.
