They’re just spacers. You still need the mounts. some people swear that poly sucks for ride quality. I have them I didn’t notice anythin negative.
But rubber ones are still available.

I used poly to replace stock rubber mounts and it has worked well. I lubricated them when installed, but they still squeaked for a while and made creaking noises. However, once they settled in the noise went away and they are quiet now.

I bought them from LMC and I think they were Energy Suspension brand, but I'm not positive. If you check with Rockauto they seem to have the best prices.

I replaced my worn out rubber with rubber. don't know if there is any difference in ride quality when using poly or rubber. Poly should last longer.

I used poly on my crew cab and it seemed to have stiffened the whole assembly, if that makes sense? It didn’t seem to have as much twist or something. It’s hard to explain but it could just be the difference between 40 year old parts and brand new parts.

I’m wanting to do the same thing. Let me know if you can find the new bolts when you remove the 3” spacer. I’ve had some issues. Also, once the spacer is removed, is there anything that goes between the top bushing protector and cab/bed? I’ve seen some that have a square spacer in between.
