I just got it in today, but my question is what are some install tips? Do i need to put a jack under the motor? and if so where do i exactly put the jack? any other tips? thanx.

Ok, this is what I do.

Put floor jack under the oilpan, put a board between the oilpan and the jack so you dont dent your oil pan and jack it up until there is barely pressure on it, just enough so it holds the board between the jack and oilpan firmly (supporting the engine). then you just need to unbolt the existing mount, you might need to jack it up a little bit more, get the new mount in and then lower it and make sure everything is tightened back down. There might be instructions in PDF format on RKsports website if you can find the product there.

instructions come with it. you need 2 seperate tools and it takes bout 15 minutes. its a very easy install. put a board on top of the spare tire jack or go buy a real jack.

did the same exact thing and didn't risk damage to the oil pan.
