Re: Cab mounts

Are the shackle style mounts so bad?
If you have a stock frame you may want to keep them.

Not bad in most respects except that they were designed to be able to go over pretty rough ground with an AD truck with the frame twisting in the process.

The majority of us just don't need that flex anymore and if the frame is boxed with an independent front end it shouldn't flex like a stock frame anyhow.

As for me, I am moving the rear cab mounts back 9-1/4 inches when I stretch the cab and will probably end up welding the brackets to the frame rather than bolting.
