NEW KIT: Cab Mount Relocation Kits

You end up getting those mounts done? I just placed an order for the mounts and ordered the 9-4101R (red, because why not) from Amazon for $50 Trudeau Rubles.
New tires and wheels sitting in packaging in my garage with these mounts on order until I finish another project I have sprawled out across the place.
CBI rock sliders and Icon suspension are next on the list to save for - probably do everything at once then go for an alignment. Looks like the bolt on sliders fit just dandy with these new cab mounts.

 

Looks like a new design:
1. Rivet on logo - which I like so far; going to paint mount black and logo red, then rivet together after its finished.
2. The mount hole has increased in diameter from ~7/8" to 1".



Here is the mounting hardware & bushings that come with the mounts:


Now with the Energy bushings:
(bushing sleeve for 7/8" hole)



Going to call Energy Suspension and see if they have a busing that is identical to this, only with an insert made for a 1" hole rather than a 7/8" hole. Nope, they do not.


Edit: Or am I just way off base here and you don't need the bolt to remain concentric with the hole? I am assuming you don't want this much room for the bolts and bushings to shift around the mounting hole... If one was to use only the bushings and hardware that come in the kit, that is alot of slop... I also don't want anything shifting because we have such massive temperature fluctuations here. Aftermarket bushings tend to not do so well in extreme cold and fail after 2 years. I want to properly test these bushings and see if they are suitable for cold climates.

Edit Edit: Just got off a call with Alpine, It's perfectly fine to have this much space between the bushing pin and the hole. No sliding or shifting should occur. There will be some new product options (including bushings) coming out. I'm sure they can provide clearer details for those interested.

 

Just ordered a Lil B's CMR from Running4tacos.com
Now just gotta chop these fenders/flares and my 35's should be golden.

 

Does anybody know if this was the kit that Wheeleveryweekend showed on their IG stories? I’m interested in a cab mount relocate, but seeing some cab mounts rip the frame has me hesitant to jump in to any company’s product

 

idk if this is the exact kit, but it has the same problem. It ripped holes in my frame, so I had to cut it off, plate the frame, and weld it back on with extra gussets

 

Our CMR kit utilizes a 3/16 frame overlay plate to disperse the load and prevent stress cracks unlike other kits on the market. The cab mount itself is built from laser cut 3/16 and 1/4 plate as well as a laser cut .188 DOM tube that encases supplied energy suspension cab mount bushings.

The only fully boxed cab mount relocation kit available on the market also making it the strongest.

 

Interesting - I wonder how well this would work with my freshly plated frame repairs.

 

Feel free to message us with more information about your frame repairs and we’ll
get you set up

 

Easy to say these will really help with 35” tires.

 

Maybe red goat? Comes with a filler piece for the big hole in the frame

 

Subbed

 

I am going to be submitting a small claims complaint against all-pro for damage their relocation bracket caused to my vehicle and their customer service doing absolutely nothing to address it. I advise anyone Shopping for a relocation option to avoid theirs in particular and any other that does not include a backing plate.


I replaced the all-pros with a kit from NTK fab works and was incredibly impressed with the design and quality of materials.

 

So what's the consensus for the safest and best kit?

 

Have any pics??

 

anyone have any feedback on this?

 

My CMR kit is designed from an oem frame file to ensure a perfect fitment. Check out my IG for some more photos @drtfabrication . Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions

 

I have a buddy running this on his third-gen. I recommended it over all the other kits for the aforementioned issues of cracking frames. Anyways, the fitment was great and no strength issues or anything. If you're in the market for a relocation, DRT is the way.

 

How abusive have they been with the kit?

I'd love some photos and mileage use?

 

When I went 35s, I decided to go with DRT because Beef and he's local. So far so good with some abuse already thrown at them. Cut 2.5" from fenders, relocated cab mount, lots of hammering, etc.

 

Gotta say that DRT’s CMR is the most popular I’ve seen. Several tacos have been in and out of Sibi with that mod.
