I have a technician that works for me that has hockey pucks for cab mount bushings. He swears it rides fine. I can't tell, 79 Bronco on 6" suspension lift w/38"? tires. I know it does free it up to use regular bolts, nuts, washer, etc. I've got to replace mine because of broken hardware. Some bolts are snapped of IN the t-nuts. Just wondering if anybody else has experience with using hockey pucks.

Ah the poor mans lift. I've seen it on lifted trucks as well, but have heard that its not a very good idea. From what I understand is that the pucks can crack in half and completely fall out. The stock isolator bushings are a much better and safer way to go.
My 2 cents.

That's my thoughts as well. I wish Moog or somebody similar would make an OE bushing set. So far all I have found is LMC ($120 just for bushings & hardware under radiator support)or Ford (which is double LMC's price).

Its a polyurethane set so you are in luck there. I will replace mine with these after this winter.

Napa sold me a set of poly-urethane cab mounts for my '80. Can't remember the name though (I do know it wasn't an "Energy" product). They were a nice addition to my body lift, as they took away a lot of the body sway.

Yep used a stack of three back in the late '80s for body lift. Sold the truck years later and none were cracked or broken. The ones I used were hard rubber IIRC. That was on a Nissan 4x4, never tried it on a Ford.
