Transfer case mounts... what do you recommend? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Well, after having the 33's on for about a month, I am now hearing a loud *clunk* sound when I let the clutch out while driving. I am thinking it is the x-case, but not really sure. That just seems like the obvious thing since it didn't do it with the 32's. So, what mounts are you guys running, or recommend? Have any of you experienced similar problems in the past? Thanks for the info. ~Steve

we went to 1/2 rubber mounts and 3/8 bolts all the way thru. cheap and east just use fender washer above and below and as spacers in the middle. total cost about 10 bucks. mike

take the mounts off and beef them up befroe you bend them. or you can buy strengthened ones. trust me, its only a matter of time before you bend them.

Even the so called "beefed" after market mounts can bend.........

I'm only running 31"s, 4.16 t-case and 3.73 r&p. One trip down the 'Con and this is what I got. I'm going to build a t-case mount that goes from frame rail to frame rail.....I will not spend hard earned money on crappy reinenforced t-case mounts again.
