This is exactly the JKS body lift problem. The bolts have a torque value to reach in order be tight and not let the transmission vibrate loose from the mount. The rubber washers prevent that from ever happening except for when they compress and extrude themselves away from the bolted connection. This means that the rubber washers cannot exist in the same place as the correctly tightened bolts at the same time.

Andy would know this if it weren't for his penchant for putting people who know how stuff works onto his ignore list.

Good to know and thanks for the info. guess ill try to mock a solution. Ive considered maybe doubleing up the mount, as they sell it on their website. Ill try that out.

Got the Jeep back, breaking in the front while im waiting on parts for the rear. Put on some bmb pads and rotors. Mine were metal on metal. Never having done breaks and going to blaines setup is amazing. They really grab after the break in!

Rear is done! 33s with 5.13s is a little insane haha. Did my 100 mile break in now its cruising for the other 400 miles. Corrected my speedo and its honestly not that bad on the freeway. 3k rpm is about 71mph in 5th gear. Its pretty nice using 5th again and being able to pass on hills. Perfectly fine for normal freeway speeds considering im not a fast driver
