less drone in the cab equals a better ride and less deafness so you'll be able to hear the wife when she calls supper is ready, lol.

I recon you boys were refering to this piece? If so I couldn't for two reasons:
1. the crossmember does not have enough drop in it to allow me to raise the trans that far up without hitting the trans tunnel and also the driveshaft would pound the cab, hence the almost rigid mount solution (attempt)
2. the TH400 trans mount would not bolt up to this 4x4 crossmember it was different bolt spacing, this 4x4 is one strange animal
I am posting all this feedback as it is almost ridiculously too difficult to do this, and I have installed a transmission or two in my day, ha ha
