Mine 4wd, lifted with R80-15LT buckshot mudders. The offset frame mount is the problem. The frame mounts are offset not allowing for room on the passenger side for my headers. Plus the motor mounts literally shear apart. So my local parts guys who I've delt with for years started digging. The mounts were 2wd. But without a listing for 4wd mounts. So I bought a set off of summit racing but to top that off they don't fot

Oh ok. I just wasn't familiar with it being called that. I'm not really worried about my driveline. Transmission is centred and shafts are all brand new with spicer joints. The engine mount/ torque situation is causing allot of problems. Flow tech headers don't fit and tried searching Doug thornley fender exit headers not listed. Another problem I live in northern Alberta. So anything from the u.s takes 4-8weeks

Are the summit mounts just the part that bolts to the engine ? Can you use them if you were to build your own mount stands. What is the Summit part number and i will look at them so i can get it in my head what the problem might be .
