you should be able to put it exactly to the stock height. it should not mess with your pinion/driveline angle if you are as close as possible to stock, if at all it will be minimal. but mount it higher or lower it WILL mess your pinion angle.

Which poly trans mount do you have?
If you have the ES poly trans mount just grind/cut off the preload bumps.
It'll make a big difference!

You will be fine. I'm running a UMI relo. bracket and stock TA and I switched from my Prothane trans mount back to stock rubber with no problems. Last 60' was 1.58 walking it out. Good luck,

Larry

I think he wants to replace the trans mount not the torque arm bushing.

For the factory torque arm use the second hole from the top.. this is the factory location. Also yes I recommend to ditch the polyurethane transmission mount if you don't like vibrations. The factory style rubber mount will be much quieter and smoother.

Hope that helps!

The relocation bracket is designed to remove the torque arm off the tail shaft. It is designed to work with factory length torque arms and the factory torque arm itself. They also feature adjustment which allows you to change the instant center of the vehicle. You can lower or raise the front of the torque arm.

Here is a link for more info- www.umiperformance.com/2207

Hope that helps,
Ryan

Okay I see how it can save your tail shaft, but what about performance? Please tell us about changing the instant center?

Yes it will, the one set of holes will keep the torque arm at the stock location.

Hope that helps,
