before I get tires?

I am in a MOD mood. Just ordering the parts may quench my desire for a week but the urge to mod will definetly rise..

The only caution I can offer in installing the 1" talller M.O.R.E motor mounts is to maybe have some patience in installing them if you haven't already installed the suspension lift. The taller motor mounts will increase the transfer-case to driveshaft angle in the opposite direction that installing a new lift does... which without the lift to counteract and move that angle an equal but opposite direction, could cause vibrations.

OK, maybe I will just purchase them and then wait ..

Would I be subject to vibrations (based on what I've read from this forum, it seems to be hit or miss, some have them some don't) if I did the 1" body lift/motor mount lift and a 2" coil spacer lift?

Would the spacer lift also cause the same increase in the transfer-case to driveshaft angle in the opposite direction that installing a new lift does?

I doubt it. The 1" motor mount kit will more than offset the minor vibrations you may receive with a 2" coil spacer lift.

No, a spacer lift (the 2" suspension spacer kit you are asking about, right?) would cause the same increase in transfer case to driveshaft angle that a new lift causes. So a 2" spacer lift will cause the exact same increase in that angle that a 2" coil spring lift will cause. Is that what you meant?

We just added the MORE kits two weeks ago. Our TJ was already set up with the Old Man Emu Suspension system. The MORE motor mount lift added a significant amount of engine vibration. This seems to be getting a little better with time but still feels like a tank when you start it up. I've heard this is from the harder rubber in the mount itself, but it is SIGNIFICANT IMO. The kit was a little tricky to get installed. If you do a search on this forum you will see some hints and tricks others have used to get the mounts lined up. There is a problem with the alternator bolt on the passenger side hitting the mount. If they had only put the bolt facing the other way it would've been no problem.

I really like the added lift and we removed the Tcase lowering pucks that came with the OME lift, so we gained another inch of clearance. No tcase vibes, but the engine vibes are rough. The added body clearance has made a big difference in off roading as well.

I'm betting you installed MORE's polyurethane motor mount kit, right? Any polyurethane motor mount will do that. I replaced my old Currie polyurethane 1" taller motor mounts earlier this year (one broke) with MORE's rubber motor mounts. Vibrations introduced by the Currie polyurethane mounts are gone now, the engine now feels much smoother now, much like it did before the Currie mounts were installed.

So DLoweinc, I recommend you install the rubber version of MORE's engine mounts, you'll be much happier with them. They're a little more money but well worth it in my opinion.

I've had about the exact same expierience as DaRaidz, except I am running Daystar 1" MML. Sometimes I feel like I went back in time and am sitting in a hotrod with solid steel motor mounts. Shakes da hell out of things. Oh well though, it's a Jeep, not a cadillac.

Makes sense, Daystar uses nothing but polyurethane in all of their products which is excellent at transmitting noise and vibration. I've become very disillusioned with polyurethane for most things in a Jeep if you can't tell.

the bombproof MORE mounts don't give that vibration right?

[quadna71]

i have the bombproofs - didn't get any vibes as a result - actually, they eliminated the vibes that my 2" spacer lift had induced. can't speak for the poly ones, but the rubber ones rock.

I just installed the 1" MML and 1" BL (both by MORE) on my 03 TJ. The MML install isn't the easiest, but managable. I would HIGHLY suggest installing the Advanced Adapters t-case shift kit at the same time! For an extra $40, you cannot go wrong.
BTW, I have vibes too.
