Thanks for the help guys... yeah I have a lift, but 6k+ pounds makes me a little nervous. I hate to go to the dealer, but might price it there at least. How much did they charge? Squirrels lol

Charged me 1000.00 just for the 10 body mounts (found non OEM online for half that price) but wanted OEM. 6 hrs of labor, I think it should have only taken 3 hrs but as I've stated I couldn't find anyone else to do this for me. Total cost $1700

$1700 . Wow thats a lot of money . May be worth it if solve the problem ..
Now the question is how long will.it last . I got the squirrels on my around 70000 miles .

Maybe an aftermarket will last longer .

The pictures of the after market ones didn't look as strong or as big. I have to hope the oem's were made better after there were so many hummers that needed new ones while still under warranty. My 05 truck doesn't make the noises yet so that's 9 years so far and going well. My 03 was the truck that needed the new ones so maybe the life of the body mounts last about 10-11 years.

W40 . Easy and cheap fix
just make sure the W40 won't dry or damage the bushing
I would look for a silicone lubricant if needed often
