I have all poly on the front (including frame to crossmember).
When the time comes to do that back, I will use poly there
too.
All parts weren't available from Moss. I did get the anti-roll
bar blocks from Summit, I think. They may not know it, but they
can get the entire Energy Suspension line. It's not it the catalog
but you can search online for the right part.
