Body mounts before rockers and floor panels

Should the body mounts be replaced prior to replacing floors and rockers? I cut out the rusty metal already and I'm wondering if I should replace the mounts before the new metal. Thanks,

It's a good idea to do so. Mine were replaced with the top bolted on as well.

I'm putting new mounts on when the body goes back on to the frame. Get everything straight for the most part, then go about replacing metal. I need to do both rockers, drivers floor, a-pillar and rocker boxes. Top will also stay on along with the door braces I welded in.

I just got my new body mounts in the mail Friday. I am going to install them before I replace rockers and get all the panels lined up.

Body mounts and Blazer door alignment is critical.

I got to work on my blazer today. I got the top bolted on then got all the bolts out of the left side had to pull the radiator off to get the bolt out of that mount. Going try to get them done in a couple days.
