    The flip kit is good but those bumps are so expensive.

    I got the flip kit and welded on my own bracket so I could use some wheelers super bumps (made for front suspension). They only cost $50.

    First I have seen or heard of this type of kit. GREAT idea for off-roading, never even thought of it. I agree the bump stops are a little pricey, and Wheeler's make VERY quality stuff AND backs up what they sell.
    Just my 2 cents.

    Once in a while Sears has a Jack Stand/Floor Jack combo on sale. I have picked up a couple of those for the price of the floor jack alone and it has come in VERY handy.

    You have to gusset the mount in the frame if you solid mount though.

    Vibes are not bad at all. U will notice them, especially when ac or defroster is on. But overall not bad at all. And yes u must gusset the frame side or u will smash them in. That said I broke a stock motor mount, so we gusseted frame perch with TG motor mounts and solid mounted the trans. I think we gusseted a perch that was broken and we didn't know and couldn't tell cuz it broke again bad ripped said gussets...truck is in the garage cuz I don't want to look at every day in her sad state :(

    The trans mount u posted seems to be a good option for 5spds, Jberry uses it I believe.

    Think the 5spd is good with just that mount. We boxed n plated mine in like many other autos have done. No one makes a upgraded trans mount for the auto, lame!

    I put the bomb proof mounts on and destroyed the frame side perch two hours later on west. Took it back to the garage, gusseted/rebuilt the frame side with 3/16 and they have been fine ever since. Vibes arent really bad

    Ya I noticed a bit more vibs at idle or when ac motor kicks on, but nothing bad. In fact I kinda liked, feel more in tune with the drivetrain.
