not sure what you mean by mounting but bmr makes a nice cross member. to use a poly mount is up to you.also the bmr piece relocates your t-arm.

I used the yank one and a stock (new) rubber trans mount and a stock torque arm (with a poly tq arm bushing). Not a single vibration.

For those of you looking for a cross member, Midwest Chassis makes a very nice and light piece.

I had a BMR and sold it to save a few pounds.


not to mention it cost less.
