hey, you changeout the body mounts on a 2008 f250 before? I got the bushings coming in Monday, but don't know if it's something I want to get into or just pay somebody to do.

I'm sure Marcus will pop in,,, but I've replaced them, they are not bad. Floor jack and a block of wood will give you room to r&r the mounts. It's usually only the rear mounts that give up. Watch your fingers

Ive done them on a few trucks before. I cant recall if the 08-10 was bolt head in can under carpet or not. If so that's the worst part is getting to the bolt head. If its under the truck it's a cake walk The front clip is the trickest one. Pull the front bumper to give room. Fords come apart easy .

I rather break stuff than fix it!!
