[QUOTE="ForMud, post: 689138, member: 12904"] That's what I have now. Might be an inch or two wider than the motor mounts. The problem is the cradle is the skid plate too. To make the two separate from the bottom, I would have to lose belly height...Hence the reason for me wanting to mount the cases from the top and leaving cradle/skid here it sits. I did find this on another site.... [font=Verdana] the second crossmember can work well as a support for a skid but isn't necessary for drivetrain support. I like the idea of a 2nd mount for bounce support since the motormounts and doubler adapter are so far apart but after treating our U4 car like a race car with only motormounts and the doubler adapter mounted and never breaking a TH350 case, I gotta say they hold up fine mounted that way. My K5 (ish) is the same way, we put a stock rubber 2wd 700R4 mount at the back of the trans and the main supports are welded to the Doubler adapter (Yup, it's still the one we built before TTC in 2001). The stock rubber t-case mount rotted away years ago and all that's left is the motor mounts and doubler adapter there too and the 700R4 case is still fine.[/font] It's written by the owner of Off Road Design [/QUOTE]
