Yah, that is a really slick setup! I've been looking around for some hoops, but the only ones I've found are on Lorenz' site, and I'm not really that impressed. I really like like what's pictured above. I think these should probably get sold with the TNT/R, haha!

The whole thing just bolts in place of the factory mounts. I've never changed them, but typically you support the engine with a jack, unbolt the factory mount, raise the engine enough to remove the factory mount and install the new mount on the block, lower the engine back down then bolt the mount to the frame. Repeat for the other side. Not sure if there are any complications with our trucks.

I would imagine the loop idea would be work whether its a 4X or 2 X.
Iv thought about looking for some for my 05 2 wheel drive simply for the fact of the results should the front U joint let loose for some reason.

Not sure if all the rules are the same or not but all of the pulls i have been to require more loops than that and require you to completly cover the u-joints....

Those aftermarket motor mounts scream NVH.
On my rockcrawler I went from stock mounts to similar aftermarket mounts and even with a stock 4cyl the NVH was almost unbearable. Also had the same experience with a Dodge Neon aftermarket mount. Can't imagine how bad it would be with the Cummins.
