The center cab mounts made of rubber are not a problem and don't need replacing unless you can't remove them like was shown in this video. If you can't separate any mounts then put on safety glasses, thread in the bolt into the stuck mount from the direction you removed it, then raise the body to apply pressure and hammer on the bolt head, they pop apart easily. The step rail on the cab is designed to support a person, not the cab. Lift on the cab directly with a 4x4 or similar. The step rails bolts can sheer and drop the cab on you when your hands are in a bad place. While pricey these are the better mounts to use, you could spend 20% of this cost and get mounts that will ride stiffer and may have loud squeaking noises, but anything is better than the factory mounts when they deteriorate.
I wondered why my 2 center ones looks different, I couldn’t get those 2 apart and ended up with an angle grinder and a hammer wish I would have seen this
Getting ready to do these this weekend on my 2012 f250. Thanks for the detailed video, I know it will help when I get started

Thanks Man you showed me a lot take care.
no problem thanks!
You doing a frame off restoration 👍
ha sort of i guess
Did you have to disconnect anything like the steering column?
Also, did you loosen all the mounts before focusing on one side?
yes to give some slack
no only the mounts.
Dude where’s the update vids for the Fummins install??!!! Can’t leave me hanging, brother 😮………… what’s the status?
haha, getting back to it soon. need $ for parts!
How about the ones on Amazon for 385.00? Beech lanes? They say they are identical to s and b mounts.
I guess maybe as long as they are silicone.
In the end, did you buy the Amazon option? How did it go?
I did and they are just as good as the s&b if not better
Beech lane are the way to go cheaper and just as good if not better
Mine were so bad the front of the cab sank to the frame and was blocking the hood release. Ford factories are terrible.
Dayumm! A body drop kit ah?
We both have new channels. We should do collab later on for an overview of our builds or something. I'm in FL also.
