Re: Body lift question
The mounts were hex shaped and tapered a bit at each end, so to get a
square cut I had a chunk of wood kicking around to fit under the tapered
end to keep square cuts. I used my 'sawsall' reciprocating saw to cut
them.
We just used my driveway tree and a hand winch on the roll bar to lift
the body and did one side at a time. It was a pretty fast job actually.

Re: Body lift question
I'd be happy to give the halves to you. Don't know if it's worth the
shipping, though. I'm in Norway... ;-)
Thanks for the hints Mike. I think I might have the right tool for the
job. But all in all, I get the feeling that you agree with me that the
Daystar setup IS stiff, and that keeping the body mount halves will make
the ride more bearable, right?
Off to the shop...

Re: Body lift question
Yes. Poly mounts are vibration routes. Rubber mounts are better for
ride.
If you like the ride you have now, then I would stay with the same
material.

Hi Mike,
And very evident when we take the easy way out, and replace the
factory molded rubber suspension components with polyurethane.
