Not sure if this is the right section but does anyone make high strength mounts for the sidekick. I have a doubler with deep gears and 36" tires and am getting lots of movement. Short of chaining it down, any other ideas?

The replacements are not too good, the only thing I has seen is
home built, replaces both sides, and there is a urethane bushing
in between to quiet the noise to the frame.

I have not seen them anywhere, I would have to draw the mount
up for fabrication, but you might get the idea without it

I've seen the Sammi ones and was thinking of something similar but was kinda hoping the aftermarket was catching up with these newer Suzuki vehicles.

I filled new replacement ones with 3M windshield urethane.  We used to do this all the time on the old 2.2 and 2.5 turbo dodge cars.  never have had one break.  I even did the rear round one on the trans on my kick.

you need to heat the tube up in some really hot water to soften the urethane up.  use a good quality caulk gun as a cheap one will bend up on you.  when you fill it, let it cure for a few days.  it will make a difference and still have some dampening like a stocker but not move around so much.  if u need more help, just send me a message and ill talk ya through it
