what are the pros and cons of poly versus rubber? and is the poly worth it?

Pros:
- stiffens the suspension, for better handling and less body roll in the corners
- looks cool (if you get the colored bushings)
- longer-lasting

Cons:
- certain types can squeak, especially polyurethane...but polygraphite (with embedded graphic for lubrication) bushings virtually eliminate squeak
- on trucks that already have a stiff suspension, they might make it TOO stiff.

I got the polygraphite versions from PST for my truck and my 442. Neither have hit the road yet, but most others I've talked with say they really like them. A few weenies complain that their suspension is now too stiff....but WTH were they expecting?

I agree with Brother Keith!

Rubber is an antiquated compromise that should only be used in emergencies.
