    I have the hole resting on the top of the frame, but I figured that was for frame alignment jigs. As for my sanity, yea well...sorry to say I miss my sanity. Heres my second question how many of you are only running 5 out of what would be 6 mounts? This would be 2 in the rear, 2 on the pass side, 1 under the grille, and 1 on the driver side. Seeing as I'm using a glass tub I am just concerned with the stress on the various points in the floor. I mean if I'm alright with the 5 mounts I have then case closed, but I'd like to hear some more opinions or facts. Thanks again.

    If you are worried about it, you can add a couple more mounts. Or do what the PO of my glass tub did. He ran 1x6 steel across the bottom of the tub. When it sits on the frame, the 1x6's act as a 1" body lift and from what I can tell, the stee lines up with the body mounts. It also gives a good place to attach a roll cage.

    For further support, my Tux has the same mount locations.

    What I did since the fit of the tub was so tight to the frame rail was with the use of a lack i stuffed another puck between the underside of the tub and the frame rail. Being that its sandwiched with diamond plate I doubt the puck will move. But more then likely I'll just fab another body mount
