Well your best bet is to have then torqued to specs. And you could try that i didnt do that but like i said i have some vibrations but i guess im used to them haha i know i said you cant but i am plus you gotta practice to get smoother shifting to avoid vibration so in a way it makes you more efficient in shifting
Powell stage 1 WITH stock cabs there messed up too got ottp's cabs waiting haha I have 90% hop reduction I was very carful on how the engine didn't move and all the stuff the 20 threads on pws1 talk about. I torqued everything to spec and I can't even tell from stock with or without ac on.. Even tho my front stock mount was fked so it's probably better then it was lolz
I just wanted to add my two cents, so that nobody makes the same mistake I did...
See that nut on the right side of the mounting bracket? It is welded to the bracket. You remove the mount by removing the bolt.... So don't put a wrench on the nut and expect it to turn. Even worse, don't put a pipe on the wrench and force it to turn.

I just got done installing them. It took an hr and a half. I could not get the long ass bolt in and had to take the downpipe off and use two jacks.
Now I drove it and man it had a lot of vibrations when shifting!!! The whole car shakes just like it would if I was about to stall out. But when driving its smoother less vibrations. Any recommendations?

No breaking in I would say. U just gotta get used to the vibes. It takes about a month of driving it, but in all honesty if installed correctly the vibes shouldn't be that bad. Noticeable but not unbearable.
You could loosen the 3 that mount to the engine. Just a couple turns. Drive around for a bit so the mounts can settle and then torque them back down

i have both mounts and i don't get crazy vibes. I believe you need to loosen the passenger side engine mounts while installing the mounts, then tightem them yup afterwords. This will allow the motor to rotate.
