I took off a pair of aftermarket mounts that were 3 years old and they had cracked/ perished.

MB subframe mounts are NLA. With the self made tool and a little bit of silicone, the replacements of the mounts are pretty easy, so I’m not particularly concerned with the quality of the Meyle/Uro mounts at this point. I’d buy OE if I could find them, but I wasn’t able to find them a few weeks ago, at least without a lot of searching.
I agree on the bilstein shocks. It is highly recommended to do the rear shocks while lifting the rear and messing with the subframe on the rear.
