Replace Cracked and Collapsed Factory Rubber with Polyurethane Body Mounts That Hold Cab Alignment on a Lifted Ram 1500
The Energy Suspension 5.4117R is the Hyper-Flex polyurethane body mount set for the 2009-2018 Ram 1500 Extended Cab and Crew Cab in red. Factory rubber body mounts on the DS-generation Ram 1500 compress, crack, and distort over time, allowing the cab to shift on the frame and causing alignment issues, cab-to-bed gaps, squeaks, and accelerated wear on surrounding hardware. The ENG5.4117R replaces each OEM rubber mount with Energy Suspension's proprietary Hyper-Flex polyurethane compound, which combines a compliant enough durometer to maintain street ride quality with the durability and dimensional stability to outlast rubber by a significant margin. Each bushing in the 5.4117R set uses a zinc-plated steel insert ring molded in place for reinforcement and long-term crush resistance. Designed for 2009-2018 Ram 1500 Crew Cab and Extended Cab body configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Energy Suspension 5.4117R?The Energy Suspension 5.4117R is the Hyper-Flex polyurethane body mount set for the 2009-2018 Ram 1500 Extended Cab and Crew Cab in red. It replaces all factory rubber body mounts with Energy Suspension's Hyper-Flex polyurethane compound, which uses zinc-plated steel insert rings for crush resistance and delivers significantly longer service life than OEM rubber while maintaining a street-appropriate ride quality.
What years and body configurations does the 5.4117R fit?The Energy Suspension 5.4117R fits the 2009-2018 Ram 1500 in Extended Cab (Quad Cab) and Crew Cab body configurations. It does not cover the Regular Cab Ram 1500. Confirm your cab configuration before ordering. The application note on Energy Suspension's documentation lists this as an 09-18 Ram 1500 Extended Cab and Crew Cab set.
How do I know if my Ram 1500 body mounts need replacement?Common symptoms of worn or collapsed body mounts on the Ram 1500 include cab-to-bed misalignment, squeaking or clunking from the cab at low speed over bumps, visible gap changes between the cab and bed, and cab movement relative to the frame during hard acceleration or braking. Inspecting the mounts directly by lifting the vehicle and checking for cracking, compression, or missing chunks of rubber is the most reliable confirmation method.
Will the ENG5.4117R increase cab noise or harshness compared to factory mounts?Energy Suspension's Hyper-Flex compound for body mounts is formulated with a softer durometer than their suspension bushings to preserve ride compliance. On a properly installed set, cab noise and vibration transmission should remain comparable to new OEM mounts. NVH increase over worn rubber mounts is normal, since worn mounts are compressively compliant in ways new mounts are not. The polyurethane is not as compliant as new OEM rubber, so minor increases in vibration transmission are possible depending on engine mount condition and road surface.
Is the 5.4117R a complete set for both sides?Yes. The 5.4117R is a complete body mount set covering all cab mounting positions on the 2009-2018 Ram 1500 Extended Cab and Crew Cab. It is not sold as a single mount. Confirm the total count required for your specific cab configuration in the Energy Suspension application guide before ordering.
Does the ENG5.4117R require lubrication during installation?Energy Suspension recommends applying their supplied or compatible polyurethane-safe grease to bushing contact surfaces during installation to prevent squeaking. Do not use petroleum-based greases, as they degrade polyurethane over time. Energy Suspension's own formula or a white lithium grease compatible with polyurethane are the standard choices.
Will these fit with an aftermarket body lift?Body lift kits use their own dedicated puck-style spacers rather than factory-style body mounts. The ENG5.4117R is designed as a factory-position body mount replacement, not as a body lift component. It can be used in conjunction with a body lift spacer stack in some configurations, but fit and application compatibility depend on the specific lift kit design. Confirm with your body lift manufacturer before ordering.
Is the 5.4117G (black) the same as 5.4117R (red)?Yes. The Energy Suspension 5.4117G and 5.4117R are the same body mount set in different colors. G designates black and R designates red. The polyurethane compound, construction, and fitment are identical. Color selection is purely aesthetic.
Installation Instructions
- Lift and safely support the Ram 1500 on jack stands at the frame rails, with the suspension hanging free.
- Identify all factory body mount locations along the cab perimeter. Photograph mount positions before removal for reference during reassembly.
- Using an appropriate socket and extension, remove the body mount bolts from the top of the cab floor. Note that some bolts may be accessed from inside the cab through floor plugs.
- Carefully raise the cab slightly using a floor jack under a padded contact point to relieve pressure from the mount being removed. Work one mount at a time.
- Remove the factory rubber mount and retain any steel cups, sleeves, or washers that are not included in the Energy Suspension kit.
- Apply Energy Suspension polyurethane-safe grease to the inside bore of the new ENG5.4117R bushing and to the mount bolt shoulder.
- Install the new polyurethane bushing into position with the steel insert ring oriented correctly per the original mount design.
- Lower the cab back onto the new mount and install the mounting bolt hand-tight. Repeat for all remaining mounts before final torque.
- With all mounts installed hand-tight, torque all body mount bolts to factory specification in a cross pattern to ensure even seating.
- Lower the vehicle and visually confirm cab-to-bed alignment before driving.

Energy Suspension
Energy Suspension manufactures high-performance polyurethane suspension components including control arm bushings, sway bar end links, motor mounts, and chassis bushings. Their parts are designed to replace soft OEM rubber with firmer polyurethane for improved handling and longer service life. Popular Upgrades Best-selling Energy Suspension parts include polyurethane control arm bushing sets for improved front-end precision, sway bar bushing kits for reduced body roll, and complete hyperlink component master sets that replace most suspension rubber on a given vehicle in one order. Why choose polyurethane bushings over rubber? Polyurethane bushings from Energy Suspension are firmer than OEM rubber, which reduces suspension deflection and improves handling precision. They are also more resistant to oil, heat, and ozone degradation, extending service life compared to factory rubber. The trade-off is slightly more NVH transmitted into the cabin. Are Energy Suspension bushings easy to in...
