I am going to be installing a 2" body lift on my 91 4dr. I am also going to replace the original rubber body mounts, since they are almost ten years old and have seen many miles (230K).
I would like to know opinions of either using the stock rubber ones again or going with polyurethane ones from Energy Suspension, James Duff, etc.
I would assume that the poly mounts would allow less body roll, but are they too harsh on the street or trail? Do they squeak? I would like to hear thoughts on advantages and disadvantages of poly. And if choice would be poly, which brand?
Also, it is my understanding that the only 2" body lift kit that is available for my year Explorer is made by Performance Accessories (kit # 792). Is this correct?
With the 2" kit, I should NOT have to do anything to the steering. Is this correct? Does that mean I will NOT have to use the supplied steering extension? I think this is what everyone has said, just making sure.
Thanks in advance.
