I've heard really good things about the brown dog mounts/kits. I will be getting some soon. Good prices too!

I got the ironman4x4fab ones from andy in the vendor area. very happy with them and great service. I THINK the M.O.R.E ones are 1/8th and ironman4x4fab ones are 1/4"

the only thing that i found out today... when i was finally adding a new fan shroud in for the mechanical fan, is that it rubbed. i had to slot the top holes about 1/4" to compensate for the 1/4" engine lift the new mounts have. but who cares, 20 seconds with a dremel and very solid motor mounts...i think the minor inconvenience with the fan shroud offsets the great mounts.

I got Andy's Ironman mounts.......GREAT price. Unfortunately, they are still sitting on my workbench in my garage thanks to needing a few more parts for my suspension overhaul. Only planning to pay mechanic labor once, so trying to gather all I need for one visit.

If I had the time, I would. I work 2 jobs and have a 14 month old son that takes priority over playing with my cars.....so I have to schedule this stuff in advance and make time when possible.

Planning to order some Ironman 4x4 mounts myself once the money is right. Those things are pure beef, and they give a little lift to the engine to help driveline. Awesome engineering.
