Energy Suspension brand. You can get either universal mounts or vehicle specific. They are a polyurethane.

No CNC mill here either!ha I agree with being able to justify having one for cost and space reasons....though many hours of my labor are being wasted where it could be spent more productively and more accurately as well. Right now my options are looking a bit more (nearly double) than what we’d “like” to spend. We’ll see how it plays out the more research I do.
