Could I try to loosen the engine mounts and drive around again to see if anything shifts? It seems like too much vibrations. Also would having the bolts too tight do any damage?

Well your best bet is to have then torqued to specs. And you could try that i didnt do that but like i said i have some vibrations but i guess im used to them haha i know i said you cant but i am plus you gotta practice to get smoother shifting to avoid vibration so in a way it makes you more efficient in shifting

Powell stage 1 WITH stock cabs there messed up too got ottp's cabs waiting haha I have 90% hop reduction I was very carful on how the engine didn't move and all the stuff the 20 threads on pws1 talk about. I torqued everything to spec and I can't even tell from stock with or without ac on.. Even tho my front stock mount was fked so it's probably better then it was lolz

I just wanted to add my two cents, so that nobody makes the same mistake I did...
See that nut on the right side of the mounting bracket? It is welded to the bracket. You remove the mount by removing the bolt.... So don't put a wrench on the nut and expect it to turn. Even worse, don't put a pipe on the wrench and force it to turn.

I just got done installing them. It took an hr and a half. I could not get the long ass bolt in and had to take the downpipe off and use two jacks.
Now I drove it and man it had a lot of vibrations when shifting!!! The whole car shakes just like it would if I was about to stall out. But when driving its smoother less vibrations. Any recommendations?

No breaking in I would say. U just gotta get used to the vibes. It takes about a month of driving it, but in all honesty if installed correctly the vibes shouldn't be that bad. Noticeable but not unbearable.

i have both mounts and i don't get crazy vibes. I believe you need to loosen the passenger side engine mounts while installing the mounts, then tightem them yup afterwords. This will allow the motor to rotate.
