LT Engine Mounts and Frame Brackets for 1988-1998 GM 4WD Trucks
When fitting an LT V8 into a 4WD chassis from 1988 through 1998, your mounting strategy determines driveline reliability. This 1988-1998 GM Truck 4WD LT Engine Mounts and Frame Bracket Kit uses CNC machined steel brackets that align with factory frame holes for perfect engine alignment while molded bushings absorb vibration and ease strain on components. Installation arrives complete with predrilled plates, fasteners, and instructions so no drilling or frame alterations are needed. Durable American steel stands up to off road demands and keeps the powertrain secure under load.
Precision CNC Machined Steel Brackets
The engine mount brackets are CNC machined from thick American steel plate to replicate the exact hole pattern of the factory frame on 1988–1998 GM 4WD trucks. This level of precision guarantees engine alignment that matches factory specifications, reducing stress on the transmission and driveline components. Precise positioning prevents uneven load distribution across universal joints and helps maintain smooth rotation of the driveshaft. By eliminating misalignment issues from the start, these brackets contribute to more consistent performance and extended service intervals for both the engine and chassis.
Molded Bushings for Vibration Control
Each mount incorporates molded bushings made of a firm compound designed to absorb a broad spectrum of engine vibrations. These bushings isolate noise and harshness before they enter the cab, delivering a noticeably quieter ride on street and trail alike. By damping harmonic frequencies, they also protect wiring harnesses, hoses, and accessories from premature fatigue and wear. This vibration control extends the life of surrounding components and reduces maintenance costs over time.
Heavy Duty American Steel Construction
All brackets and mounting plates are crafted from domestic steel known for its uniform strength and durability under load. The robust construction resists bending or distortion when subjected to the rigors of off road use, including hard acceleration and uneven terrain. Integrated reinforcement at critical bolt interfaces distributes engine and driveline forces evenly across the frame. This design philosophy ensures the mounting system remains stable under demanding conditions, preserving both powertrain alignment and chassis integrity.
Plug-and-play Installation with Complete Hardware
The kit arrives with all necessary bolts, washers, and clear instructions so there is no need for drilling or frame modification. Predrilled plates align exactly with factory locations, allowing experienced technicians and hobbyists alike to follow a seamless installation process. Detailed step-by-step diagrams help eliminate guesswork and reduce the chance of errors. As a result, the entire installation can be completed quickly, delivering a secure, factory quality fit straight out of the box.
Engineered for perfect engine alignment and robust durability in every off road scenario.
