The Ploy last forever, but the rubber “feel” better. They have some bounce when driving.

I have a squeak. I feel like it’s my tailgate. But with the exhaust and 2 12s hitting I don’t notice a squeak most days lol.

I'd recommend rubber over poly. I did poly and there are squeaks and it's a little harsher than it was with rubber.

The rubber is really hard to find for any kind of decent price. I replaced all of mine with poly and it isn't harsh at all and still has plenty of bounce and give. I ordered mine from summit and just got a tub of their unbranded silicone grease at the same time. Used the grease liberally during the install and have zero squeaks.
