Automatic Transmissions mounts? What's a good brand? Dealer?

From general wheeling and use of low range with 4.63's the trans mount seems to keep taking a beating. Everyone tells me the aftermarket ones do not fit well, has anyone else chewed this mount up more than once?

Is there anyone out there making a direct replacement with decent durability? I'm going to 5.29's in my turbo diesel and 2.72 case gears and I'm worried for the sake of my mounts. I've considered and probably will, fab up a new cross member and use a poly mount for a jeep or something, but I wanted to check with everyone here.

Good question. I just got the roll mount (the non-labeled) circled in the FSM page snap. Mine has nothing in it, but this replacement piece looks pretty scary too! Got it from Rock Auto, and not sure if this is some cappy replacement, or just how this part looks stock.

Looking for that thing i just had in my hand...
And there are 2 different roll stoppers, not sure why they did away with those? Gen 1's had crappier mounts but had the roll stopper to make them see less stress. I think had they kept the roll stopper with the Gen 2 mount the setup would have been semi decent.

That is how those roll stoppers look, the bolt that goes through the middle just bounces around in that ring. Don't mount hard mount a roll stopper, they definitely need to float otherwise all the driveline noise transmits into the cab.

The Anchor trans mounts and the Taiwanese mounts come with Mitsubishi part numbers cast into the rubber and even have a little paper that looks like a Mitsu parts tag. Not the case, these are cheap imitations with inferior rubber. Even on my stock rigs they go flat and tear in a few months, not sure what they cost at the dealer but I'm sure it's worth it (Mitsubishi Super Rubber is a real thing).
