skid plate vs np208 (think I need a new trans mount)

[metalneverdies]

My np 208 has clearly been smacking into my skid plate I think my trans mount may be a bit worn and compressed.

I know anchor brand mounts suck, thoughts on DEA brand mounts?

I don't want to go with poly mounts.

Why not poly ?? they work.

Increased vibration, also having to change the front to poly.

true that you should change them together, as far as vibration, dont believe the hype, I just changed my motor mounts and trans mounts a couple weekends ago, the vibration is only a small % more than stock, not bad at all. But if your trans mounts are bad, what are the odds your motor mounts are also? might be something to invest in.

Im glad I need, truck is actually more responsive *or seems that way and just feels "tighter"

From previous experience with stiffer motor mounts was what made me want to steer clear on poly. I bought "sti groupe n" mounts for my DD saab and it is much harsher has vibrations at idle and is louder.

The front are not great, but they don't jump or seem bad. I am waiting to tackle them until I do my motor swap anyways.
