Had the shocks replaced with oem's even though we'd used Koni & Bilstein's when we raced in the past
OEM's were a little stiffer on cordory back country road, but the same on highways.
Finally crawled underneath.
Oh my. All 4 body mounts were down to 0.00".
Still looking for good body mounts that are softer.
No can find except OEM.
So looking to double up OEM body mounts to relieve DW's back since mine has already been carved on for the 4th time.

As others have said " unless damaged" shocks seem to last. Maybe not forever but w/56k. New miles on these OEM's & no noticable difference (except memory faults) we'll probably just get a new TV & see what's different.

I don't know where you would get anything softer than the OEM body mount bushings. All the ones I used to get/use were poly and they were plenty hard...but they didn't "squash" like OE.
