JKS has been building this motor mount spacer lift since 1999 in small quantities. With the increasing demand for this simple design we have decided to go into production, mass-producing them to make it more affordable. The actual spacer is now made from 6061-T6-alloy aluminum. Simply slip this spacer below your OEM motor mount to achieve a full one-inch motor lift. This system allows you to retain the rubber isolated OEM motor mounts. This is a direct bolt-on item. Red anodizing and zinc-plated fasteners are standard. Great value at a budget price!

Price: $40.00
Pros: Simple?
Cons: pain to install?
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Lets not blow this up to be big... it's 2 blocks of aluminum. done. If you have a friend with a good set of fab machinery you could make the exact same thing for dirt cheap. That being said there is something to be said about knowing you're getting the correct parts. Only problem is getting the bolts in and out particularly on the driver side where there is a lot of other parts that makes removing and reinstalling the bolts difficult.

Price: $72.00
Pros: Simple, Heavy Duty
Cons: Can be a PITA to install by yourself do to changing drive line angles
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Product did what it claims, raises the motor 1" to allow better drive line angles
Good way to raise your oil pan
solid aluminum blocks are about as strong as you can get
install took longer than expected do to air conditioner and 1 man install

Price: $80.00
Pros: Does its Job No Engine Vibes
Cons: None
Recommended? Yes
Comments: The MML I have owned in the past used a poly bushing and were transdapt 1 inch lift. THey shook the entire Jeep from the drivetrain vibes being moved into the chassis. These were on the Jeep when I bought it and Highly recommended. I have owned rubber bomb proof from MORE but they were way more expensive then the JKS and retain the rubber mounts of the stock setup. If it breaks I will weld up and strengthen them but for now they are great and no vibes in the Chassis at all.

Price: $70.00
Pros: Better driveline angle, small bling factor.
Cons: None.
Recommended? Yes
Comments: The install was a little time-consuming, but nothing came out of left field to make my life miserable. Rokmen covers this install on Youtube, and they cover it well! I used their instructions as my primary guide, and referred to JKS's instructions as I went along. I can't remember if JKS recommends removing the whole driver-side motor mount, but Rokmen does, and it makes it easier. For somebody who doesn't work on cars, but is mechanically inclined, this is definitely doable!

|
Price: $54.00
Pros: Looks clean and durable
Cons: Installation was a pain, instructions in box could have been written on separate paper rather that the packaging cardboard. and i accidentally knocked the timing out of place. Had to look at the youtube video to fully under stand what to do and finish.
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Found this on ebay at a deal to good to pass up. I know plenty of people that have this installed. Instructions could have been done better and on a separate piece of paper rather that the cardboard backing on the package. If you install this kit i would recommend looking at he youtube video, it explains it much better.

Price: $54.99
Pros: Driveline vibration decreases, makes mild body lifts painless
Cons: Requires trimming the motor mount bolts
Recommended? Yes
Comments: If you're getting a mild body lift, save yourself the pain and modifications by picking these up. Watch the Rokmen videos on YouTube as you may have parts that block removal of some bolts and it will help to see their tutorial. I saw a slight decrease in my driveline vibration after the motor mount lift was installed and it made my body lift a piece of cake. Worth every penny.

Price: $57.00
Pros: It all fit in the end and worked with the JKS BL
Cons: Bolt extender was very tight on stock bolt and could only be put on with a vice grip and lots of muscle. Would be nice if they put torque specs like they did on the JKS BL
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Make sure you have a good set of vice grips

Price: $50.00
Pros: kept the original motor mount
Cons: alone in your garage with the wrong equipement, PITA to install
Recommended? Yes
Comments: loved the red anodized aluminum blocs, looks great in the engine bay, also matched the throttle body spacer. I also liked the facts that it kept the 7$ original engine mounts. I was told the poly. mounts sends all the vibration to the cab which i did not want. very cheap mod well worth it.
cutting that OE bolt 1/4 inch was cake, not a pain at all. overall easy to install.. i was by myself and did not have the proper tools.. made it work and would recommend to anyone with a 1'' or 1.25'' inch BL.

Price: $50.00
Pros: works as intended
Cons: have to cut the stud down to length. I could do without the anodizing.
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Install is a little tricky, but that's not JKS's fault. I was a little nervous about cutting the stud down to length but 15 seconds with a hacksaw was all it took. Make sure you have locktite on hand.

Price: $54.00
Pros: Lifts the engine to align with fan shroud, tilts the output shaft of TC down for better driveshaft angles.
Cons: Didn't like that I had to cut 1/4" of existing MM stud.
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Really nothing bad to say except that the stud has to be trimmed on both motor mounts for the new pegs to screw over them. Not a huge issue at all though. Aligning the cross bolt for the motor mount can suck too, but that's not JKS's fault. All the benefits make it worth it. Aligns the fan back in the fan shroud after a body lift. Tilts the rear of the transfer case down to create better driveshaft angles. Puts the oil pan higher away from objects off-road.

Price: $0.01
Pros: Came free with my JKS 1.25" body lift
Cons: PITA to install. Requires cutting factory motor mount (so there's NO GOING BACK). had to grind factory mount to make fit. Did not resolve T-case linkage issues caused by the body lift.
Recommended? No
Comments: Consider this my review...

Filthy-Beast's Reviews
|
Price: $55.00
Pros: Included everything needed
Cons: one of the bolts needed to cut to proper size.
Recommended? Yes
Comments: Got this from Rokmen and watched their install video, which has some time saving tips and clued me into the fact that I would need to cut a bolt. That I would need to cut the bolt on purpose built option was a little annoying. Other than that minor issue every thing went fine and having it installed made the TT so much easier.
