Sweet I actually want to remove my 2 inch poly body lift and just use the stock rubber. What do you mean by body gap rubber? I was also thinking of using stock ride height poly mounts (prolly would be best but may ride rough).

Vehicle NVH is out of hand on the passenger side (all the body mounts pushed through the tub when I went off the road at 40 mph and down an embankment  :-[). Anything would be an improvement at this point so I guess you may have a point. Although I'd like to get it back to a tolerable point so everything counts! Haha

body lifts dont effect ride all that much
its bad springs and cheap shocks... (but leaf springs in general will do it)

gap fillers are basically extended guards for the fedners to cover "unsightly gaps made by body lifts"

Oh I already have those and won't need them soon when I eliminate the body lift. Body mounts definitely affect NVH that's crazy talk. lol

ride and NVH are slightly distinct...

and I think your priorities ought to be adjusted if that is an ordered list

Technical terms aside my Jeep vibrates much worse due to the damaged body mounts. I know this because when I turn to the right on the highway it stops vibrating (bad mounts are on passenger side) lol and it rode great before it took the dive off of the road

And yeah list is in no particular order. Just trying to check as many things off as I can.

Body mounts just transmit vibration.. They have no effect on ride comfort..
Body roll and piss poor handling is due to driving something with 4 leaves that's beat to hell..

I'm not talking about handling or body roll. I'm simply stating I have more vibration while driving due to broken/nonexisting body mounts. When actually installed properly, the rubber acts as a damper in the metal to rubber to metal connection. Rigid metal transmits vibration. Soft rubber does not, it absorbs it. What's the point of the rubber then in a body mount or even an engine mount? Why not just mount the body or engine rigidly to the frame then? You wouldn't do that because you'd transmit a ton of bad vibes across the connection. These types of connections need vibration dampening and "give" to absorb the energy created when driving, otherwise it gets transmitted to unwanted areas.

Also I'm sick of talking about the body mounts on this pile. The issue will be attacked soon so I can have an improved smoother ride, lower ride height, and no more fawking gangster lean.  ;D
