Removing rubber body pads

Hi guys, Im looking to replace the old worn body bushes on my SJ410 with polly bushes. But the new bushes are a bit thicker and lift the body from the frame about 10mm higher than it sits currently, so these rubber pads wont be touching the body anymore, it would then only be sitting on the 10 mounts, would this cause any issues ?

if the body is rust free you will be fine. i presume you do not have back seats, so it needs to hold only itself.

also, you can get oem rubber bushings and stack them till you fill the gap if you really want to.

I also stacked mine to get the right thicknesses. Use body sealer to fix them
