Body Bushing Kit- Searched, but no Answer...

I'm just looking for a part number on what people have used for their 2wd Blazers. Used the search function on the forum page but no one mentions any part numbers. I've seen the kits from the big name makers but they're for 4wd. I just want to order a kit that's made for a 72 2wd blazer. Seems simple enough but I'm having a hard time finding one. Thanks for the help...

Assuming you are referencing the cab body cushions the kit is the same for 2wd. However the rad support mounts are different according to the LMC catalog. I would recommend the poly version. The rubber ones I bought didnt even last a year before falling apart.

Yeah, I need to replace all the old rubber body bushings on the blazer but every kit I see says it's just for 4wd models. I don't know if there'd be a difference between the 2wd bushings and the 4wd ones or not.

I've heard of poly bushings that are impregnated with graphite that help with squeaking. Are you familiar with those?

Yes usually the black poly cushions of any type have the graphite. The only two choices for poly I know of are Energy Suspension and Prothane. I went with Prothane and can say they make a very nice product. http://prothane.com/
