For a solid mount, I would go with motor plates and be done. It will free up a lot of room as well. 199.00 for a set and you are ready to go.

Those are what i've seen for solid mounts. Those will work with the stock k-member but not with most (if not all) tubular k-members b/c they include a fixed mount to put your rubber or urethane mounts on.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong on this

See, thx for chiming in

I know i've seen some aftermarket ones without mounts so I didn't know if they had spots for the solid mounts. Learned that at least some do.

The J bracket welds to the frame and the plates bolt to that and the front of the motor. It is a very easy install. After that you can remoce te factory pedatle and cear a lot of room. It also becomes easy to pull the motor when needed.
