Anyone had a good experience with any kind of motor mount? I'm looking at the M.O.R.E torsion style. I don't need anymore vibration than I already have, is this the best one out there?

Also - do you really need a motor mount if you're doing the belly up skid plate and 1" body lift?

That really depends on how your jeep turns out. The belly up and body lift combo leaves the front of your engine (including the fan) at a lower angle. This can cause the fan to hit the shroud. A mml would help fix this but u could just repostition the shroud. Another result of the belly up is changin the driveshaft angles which can lead to vibrations and depending on how much angle difference is created u can end up with breakage. Several fixes are out there for this includin sye installs, pinion angle adjustment, etc. The mml will help a little in returning to better driveshaft angles.
hope this helps

I had planned on getting the sye and longer cv driveshaft, but I've some people say you do need ml and some don't. Thanks for the info!

you don't need the MML with a belly up or suspension lift, but it will help with driveline angles

Got it installed, things seem to be okay, but the MML didn't really help with normal engine vibes...I kind of thought it would smooth that out with the 'torsion' rubber. Did it help anyone else there?

hey ive seen a lot of rubber mounts get destroyed.... a lot of my buddys that run blown drags are hard mounting them.... ELIMINATING the RUBBER. im bound to try it. on my yj it wasnt the rubber mount that finally did me in it was the extension coming of the block that busted off. DC thought it would be funny to make it out of aluminum for a few yrs.... also i have never had a motor mount(rubber) last more than 20k miles in my yj... my rubi well thats still in testing. but the more mounts look good... but are not the way to go if you want to elinate reverberations from the engine. the material they use is denser in turn making it more noticeable compared to soft factory mounts...

Yeah I noticed it as soon as I started the jeep. What other options are there that will smooth out the typical engine vibes?

have you considered that it might not be the driveline angle causing the vibes?

Yep, I did consider that. I adjusted the skid to compensate for the engine angle, but what is the factory angle of the front/rear driveshaft supposed to be?

Still haven't had a chance to get my SYE in...I'm sure that will help loads.

a buddy of mine runs a 4" lift and drives mainly on the street and has never changed from his factory driveline... dunno how but it works? but also his vibes mainly come from the larger tires and engine... my 2.5L always felt like i was riding on top a diesel.... i think jeeps with the inline are notoriously vibrant engines. even my 04 4.0L you can feel a slight miss @ idle does anyone else notice this? the stealership said it was A-OK.

oh yeah i kno every one thinks jp suks or maybe not but a few months back maybe 6 or more.. they had a good article on how your driveline should run in correlation with 1: the u joint setup/ double cardagan 2: angles.... should read it very good idiot guide i found it helpful and intriguing.

The Torsion rubber mounts have more vibration than the stock mounts but are a bit heavier duty. If you want to raise your motor and not have the vibration then use the steel budget spacers with the stock mounts.
