Got lifted by 1" MORE ones on the YJ can't say I notice a vibration prob but then I spent ages on the driveline angles and stuff, also the prop supplier and things makes a difference...... I will say that at a speed when you know you should change down in a few secs there is a thrummmmm that you wish wasn't there......that is until you've changed down and it goes away.
Personally I think a deeper ratio in the axles and that 383 with 400 bhp and there would be no problem....... :icon_super:

poly bushes will  out last the std rubber by a long way and they don't deteriorate. Thes td rubbder bushes have been developed by the maker for one reason.....to cut out any engine vibration driven by the engine. The development of these rubber bushes can take months before the ideal design is found. personally i would go for rubber mounts on the engine over poly ones

the polys do last longer but last time i looked they were allmost 3 times the price of the rubber units and as they so easy to change on the CJ I would rather just change the rubber ones more often.

Having been there and got 'em I would not go that route again..... unless your going to seriously beat on your rig with monster horse-power and then roll it and your worried about the motor breaking loose while inverted.... Just replace the rubber ones regularly
I agree with NB
