how is everyone making there cab mounts??...just using stock ones or making them??...solid w/o bushing???....need to make some for my s10...just looking for ideas....pics would help also..
took the words outta my mouth! i was thinking the same thing,i have been looking at the profiles trying to see what people have been doing.what are people doing? i have seen stock ones,and some that look more like bed mounts not cab mounts.
I used universal torsion mini bag mounts that didnt have holes for ports in them, then I cut them to the length I needed and mounted the stock bushings to them. I cut a hole in the bottom so I could get a socket on the nut, and gusseted the sides. Simple. Cheap.

even cheaper, pie cut 2x3, im gona use 4 link bushings in there. may not be the best but its better than no rubber at all.i used a hole saw to cut the holes, and cut a 4 link sleeve in half and welded her in.
Im using my stock mounts on mine, i just cut the others off the welded them onto the new frame.
The 2x3 steel with Energy Suspension Jeep CJ5 polyurethane body mounts works great.
I use the stocks on most of my trucks

thats what we did
im making mine out of 3/16" plate with a 3/4" rubber bushing and gusseted to the frame. My frame's too narrow to use stock mounts plus the bolt is gonna be sitting on the ground laid out so i need as much drop as possible.
thats the same prob we had travis, ragner mounts are like 3 inches tall.
