    Can the rubber mounts on the cab be replaced without removing the cab all the way ? Is it a hard job? Is it worth it as my bushings are 24 years old. I have the bed off and I just wonder if I should replace the rubber mounts under the cab while I have it this far down.

    Thanks,

    Mine were in good shape so i kept them. and yea just disconnect the 4 bolts the hold the cab on and do each corner at a time. if they arent too rotted or anything i wouldnt bother with it

    You can remove the drivers side bolts and then loosen the passenger side bolts, (or vice versa) and then jack up the drivers side of the cab until you can get the bushings out and replaced. then put the drivers side bolts back loosely and do the same for the passenger side. Thats how they install body lifts and it makes it easy. Just make sure you don't lift too high so anything binds. (wires, steering, ect.) Shouldn't have to lift the cab more than an inch or so.
