Best Body Mounts or Body Mount Review

After many searched I could not find:

Which body mounts are the best ride, most off-road worthy, and longest lasting?

Energy Suspension?
Daystar?
4 Crawler?
Anyothers?

Here is my writeup from about 10 years ago:
http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTri...shtml#Bushings

From what I have seen, most all ofl the after market poly bushings are pretty much the same, same size (as stock) and same durometer, only real difference is the color choices. I've used Prothane and Energy bushings, both work fine. No experience with the Daystar parts.

LC Engineering sell a pretty comprehensive kit. They worked well on my 85 4Runner.

I just installed Energy Suspension cab mounts on my truck. I can't comment on the ride as I need to rebuild the engine and do a SAS before it's driveable. The dealer wanted $360.00 for all 6 cab mounts and ES wanted $80.00 for the set. I went with the ES ones even if it will ride a bit rough.
The urethane doesn't feel as firm as the ones used for suspension so it should help the ride a little.
