hey guys i have the same damn problem trans mount is hooped.. but i was talkin to my dealer manager and they are using PRO-COMP suspension limiting straps to wrap around the trans and bolt on to the trans mount bolts. i guess they are helping stop the trans mount from lifting to breaking limits. i dunno if this realy works but nissan has been doing it on all the newer lifted trucks and havent had a issue yet. what do you guys think.. im gona try it out.,
Yep I've heard of ZERO 4x2 mounts failing. Heck they're 2x as tall. lolAt my dealership we have replaced on the 4X4-24 this year, but on the 4x2-0.
...sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this is what I'm dealing with...I've got a 6" lift and the driveshaft hits the tunnel under WOT.OK fellas...Your lifts are not whats causing your mounts to break. It's the torque/axle wrap thats doing it. The cure all is traction bars. I had a cracked mount and installed the PRG Off Road traction bars, and the "Thump" was gone even with a cracked mount. I did replace the mount... WHAT A PITA! The swap wouldn't be so bad if the mount didnt have the long studs. With the long studs (guide studs) you have to lower the crossmember to replace the mount. You cant just unbolt the tranny from the mount and lift the tranny up, doesnt go high enough. Ever since installing my T-Bars and the new mount, the new mount is still in one piece. The thump you hear and feel is the tranny hitting the cab.
I got my first lift a month after I bought my Titan....sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this is what I'm dealing with...I've got a 6" lift and the driveshaft hits the tunnel under WOT.
Guess I'm going to have some long bars fabbed up and maybe lower the trans mount a little bit and hope that does the trick.
The deaver pack will help, but I think the traction bars are the best solution for axle wrap. If it was my decision between the two items, I would purchase the traction bars then save for the deaver pack purchase at a later time... just my opinion though...Will installing the Deaver C-10 leaf pack alone help with protecting the tranny mount? PRG claims the Deaver leaf pack helps with axle wrap, I'm sure not as much as the traction bars, but I really don't want to spend $500 on traction bars and I've already been considering the Deaver leaf pack. If the Deaver pack will prolon the life of the tranny mount it helps justify buying them...anyone have an opinion on this?

Noticed my tranny mount is cracked again, and it only lasted 20K miles, but the worst part is that I had to pay for the part out of pocket this time, as my extended warranty is over.OK fellas...Your lifts are not whats causing your mounts to break.
