So I am soon going to be doing all my cab mounts and swapping in polyurethane ones(with no body lift) and was curious of all the hard ware I will need. I am going to definately cut out all the old and put in new!!! So after searching for days on the internet and other places I never got a real answer. So what all hardware will I need (bolts,washers,nuts,clips,etc.)???
Thanks in advance!!

I had to fabricate my own with 1/2" and 3/4" pipe and some BIG THICK unplated washers I got from fastenal

I don't remeber exactly what I sued offhand, but...

You can get the stock stuff from LMC truck but the prices are "abusive"

I made a puller...an exhaust pipe adapter, some washers and a 12mmx1.75 pitch threaded rod and 2 nuts.
Kinda rusty, pulled the sleeves right apart. only one came out intact enough to get some measurements though.
Be nice to know what they were but I still have a plan.
Got 4 of my frame to cab mounts fixed ... last 2 at the rear of the cab next

Here is how I did mine. I did add a 1" polly spacer to mine for a slight body lift.

Welded a large washer to a piece of pipe that fit in the bushings.


Here is the body lift puck on the sleave.


Here is the new body mount.


I then cut the sleave about 1/4"-3/8" short of all the bushings. So that once installed the bushings will compress to each other and the bolt will bottom out on the sleave

in some of the better kits you'll get all the washers you need... most of which are zinc coated. if you get a 2 -3" lift then you'll have all new hardware, though the bed bolts aren't torqs bit bolts.... well mine weren't anyways.
