And yes, those would be fine and stronger than the stock ones.
Alright cool they look nice and the price seems decent. Will these make the jeep ride smoother considering my bushings are worn? And could i install these myself

Yes on both counts. It's not gonna be Cadillac smooth or anything, but yes, it will be better - closer to how they ride stock.

With the bushings worn it's possible, but even if they're not the cause they need to replaced.

It's probably the transfer case drive chain. It's stretched far enough to start skipping teeth when power is applied( mine is doin the same thing

That's decently stretched. You'd be having signs of it stretching before teeth started skipping.

Mine too maybe I should stop being a lazy pos and replace them. After all I have new ones sitting on my workbench that have been there for 4 months. But I also still need to install my extended brake lines that have been on the workbench for a year also.

Update: I've had a popping coming from my front end for quite some time now. New front wheel joints, tie rod ends, adj. front trac bar. I've looked at it and can't seem to find it. It used to only doing when I was in 4wd crawling up hills it'd pop whenever I'd bounce around. Now I noticed it does it when I put it in reverse or am backing up and I stoop. It'll clank, any ideas?

Not tryin to be a smart*** but look at his name he might not know. We all didn't wake up one day and know everything. The motor mounts are what attaches your motor to your frame and have a bushing in them to isolate engine vibrations from the rest of the vehicle. When they go bad they can allow the bolt that goes through them to hit the metal bracket that goes around the bushing. The transmission bushing is between your transmission and the mount that it sits on.
