I have blue Polybush brand.
I paid a bit more for the Polybush brand from AB, because I've heard so many horror stories on crappy poly bushings. Of course every time I saw such a posting no one ever said what brand they installed. But I decided on Polybush figuring it would hopefully be a goog choice.

To each his own. I prefer the positive feedback that I get from the road, if I want a ride like i'm floating on clouds ill get a lincoln town car.

I believe Rover North had the best price on the polybush kit. I think they only advertise the orange, but IIRC I phoned them and got the reds for the same price.

Were they Polybush, or some other brand?

My dodge dually rides great full or empty, every ford 3/4 or heavier I have drove rode like a brick not ideal for trailriding,but I did buy the HD one springs hoping they would ride nice so...

More input from people that used the red would be helpful

I'm currently looking to buy this kit, it seems rather complete:

SDLR03PWA | Floflex Polyurethane Bush kit (front and rear including s/abs bushes)

It's way cheaper for me to buy from the UK, and I'm in Canada... go figure...

There are a lot of brands of urethane bushings. I'd do some research on that specific brand and how they've held up for people.

I went with orange from rovers north, if I just rode on the street red firm would probly be fine but I have spinal problems and can't have hard jarring driving off road , I hope these are firm enough to stop my on road sway on the hwy

Sorry on a normal vehicle it is a track bar cause it keeps the axle assembly tracking straight think rover calls it a panhard bar
