    Default Poly or rubber for rebuild?

    I'll be starting the resto on my '89 C1500 std/short soon, and LMC offers both rubber and poly mounts and bushings.

    I HAVE to replace the rad support and rear leaf springs, so new mounts/bushings there, and thought I may as well do everything while I'm at it.

    What is your knowledge or preference, pros and cons, cost vs. value, etc. on which to use?

    The truck will be used for normal driving and hauling, no racing or jumping, but will have the fatter tires, 2" drop, street truck look.

    Thanks,

    I believe the ploy will last longer than rubber but cost more than rubber. I think rubber will probably work ok for normal driving and hauling.
