But will poly com rod bushes be to hard and not allow as much flex for the front wheel compared to rubber 1s just a thought

Depends really what your wanting to do with your truck if your off roading it i'd go with rubber ones

Poly is so much harder than rubber. It'll feel nicer on the road but defo tight as a nun's flange off road

I can honestly say it does feels miles better on road but I have not yet taken mine off road . too busy fixing it because somebody before me never changed anything so going threw the whole car doing all joints and welding . once that's all done might start doing some

Indeed Elty BUT those advantages are all in situations where the bushes are essentially working in one main direction. If you use them on the panhard rod for example then they'll be fine and dandy. On the trailing arms however they will defo fight against axle flex, that's they're job! Similar story up front. On the compression rod bushes they'll be fighting you all the way. Rubber ones WILL give more flex in those places.
ARBs I don't have experience of but for shock bushes, poly will be fine.
I'm just saying basically for greater freedom of joint movement then rubber is best. Not for long life or colour etc
For many popular cars the poly makers have different grade bushes for different road use. Unfortunately that's not an option on the old T2
Carry on
