Rubber bushings flex better than poly. But polys last longer than rubber bushings.:skull:

I agree with these guys. I am using poly in the Skyjacker springs and rubber in the shackle/mounts. They flex better but have to be replaced twice a year at the current rate of beating they get! Poly squeak more if you care, and no amount of lube seems to quiet them.

If the intended use was on the road and handling is important, the poly will give you a crisper (can this term be used in a Cruiser post?) road feel.

Make sure your exhaust is routed and dumps away from them, don't ask how I know!

If you are looking for a set of poly's, I have an unopened set for stock 40 springs. I ordered them and then decided to get new springs also. $35 plus shipping, they are Daystar.
