Spohn makes a set. I think Madman might have stopped making his, I'm not positive on that, though.

i put just one poly mount on the drivers side and my motor now sits almost completely still. i would go that route as it didn't transfew much in the way of vibrations to the cab. kept my headers from hitting the k-member and everything

Do you have first-hand experience of this? I have solid mounts and I did not notice a stiffer ride coming from the stock rubber mounts. This is after 3000 miles of street driving. So, how long did you run solid mounts?

I have been running the Madman mounts, and have no problems with them, other then the finish was for **** when I got them. Do yourself a favor & powdercoat them.

I dont have excessive vibrations though. It shakes less. Not a whole lot of miles on the car, but so far, so good.

The Spohns come powdercoated red or black for around the same price as the Madman units.

I had solid mounts. Went to a front and mid plate after discovering I had cracked the block/liners in 2 cylinders. The 2 cylinders right where the solid mounts bolt to the block.

I'm not saying the mounts cracked the block, but it makes you wonder.

Some of us don't have the problem of excessive power. Maybe that had something to do with it.
