If you have a 3" Body lift, it seems to me the suspension lift is only 2.5".

I agree

Ok guys,

Tonight we replaced the broken engine bracket with a new one.



We lined up the powertrain, which went all surprisingly easy.
Found out that the transmission mount is dried out and cracked so that has to be replaced. While I am at it; will also exchange the engine mounts by new ones with a 1" lift and get rid of that TCdrop.

Thnx for your advice !!!  :beers:

that looks like the passanger side motor mount cradle for a yj, not a mml.

that's what he said - he replaced the stock one since it broke.

Yep, replaced it with the stock cradle.
Since we exchanged the chassis for another not rusted one, I also got the time to inspect the motor mounts and see how far the slip yoke is in the TC.
This is conciderable, so I try it without SYE for a while.
Also descided not to install a MM and run with the TCdrop until I get some other problems solved or saved some money for this project.
