Did you install the rubber pads under the mount where it meets the frame?

I am wondering if the air struts combined with a stiffer mount make any difference as far as vibrations are concerned or if the broken strut was part of the problem?

I am running the stock suspension and the only noticeable increase in vibration is at a stop light with the A/C on, which I noticed even with the stock mount. The vibration is very minor (the wife doesn't notice it) especially with the radio on and if I switch the A/C off, it immediate goes away due to less load on the engine.
