I'm also looking at UMI's kit which looks comparable to Global West's. However, it sounds like Moser rear ends have thicker mounts for the upper bushings since Global West offers a specific bushing for them. Not sure if UMI does the same.

In the rear…no advantage, to being a detriment, if the knock on poly is to be believed. Poly will at least give a little…delalum will give none.
The range of motion of the rear arms, at the axle and frame, call for something that “gives”. Rubber will…poly a little, the spherical types of bushings a lot. I have the hotchkiss versions, axle captured between two really high durometer plastic halves.
I’m in the minority, I’m a fan of poly, but I also know where it’s best utilized. At least I think I do…
