I just put in some brown dog motor mounts. All I can say is amazing... they changed my ride dramatically from the broken stock ones i had.

Those 2.5 mounts are a bit harder to find but I would look for another set of the OEM's and check the trans mounts also to see how bad they are. Try the jeep specialty houses and parts shops online for them.

No don't cut anything. Should be a direct swap.

I'd say brown dogs but I had to take mine off...although I did have the prothene bushings and they made a hell of a difference at take off and even going into gears...they were just very vibey. I did a lot of daily driving duties in the Comanche and couldn't stand it...so I went back to oe..

Did you mean "or" or "nor"? BD makes 2.5 mounts.
