    Ok didn’t mention that in the original post so I wasn’t sure if you wanted it plated.

    For what it’s worth, my cab mounts are cut back as far as they possibly can, and they’re still open. I have a welder, and I have no reason to plate them. Keeping them open makes it easier to keep them clean of mud and road salt and shit.

    You know I honestly never thought to do that. I think it should be find if you leave it open and just make sure it's painted so it won't rust right?

    I actually have a die grinder and can do my own CMC if that's all it takes.

    Yea if you’re not jumping your truck the cab mount will still be strong enough. I wheel mine pretty hard and my cab mounts have been open for 5 or 6 years atleast.
