Motor Mounts vs. K-Member??? (Who has a K-member?)
For those with either a K-member or After Market Motor Mounts; I am installing LT's so while I'm down there I thought I might as well replace the mounts but the more I think about it --> A K-member might be the way to GO????
WHAT IS ANYONES OPINION??? On NVH of an aftermarket K-member? / Benefits of K-member vs. Motor Mounts? Etc....

Well the so called K-member will give you more room for your LT and is stiffer and lighter than the stock engine cradle. The sn95 engine cradle was in the shape of a K hence the name, but the S197 isn't in the shape of a K. The engine cradle will have motor mounts and dependening on which one you get will depend on NVH. I like Griggs racing but BMR is probably cheaper.

They are both nice pieces IMO, the difference between the Griggs and Racecraft set ups and the BMR is you can't take them out of the box and use them. It requires a different rack and pinion from my understanding and it just wasn't worth the hassle to me personally. For someone serious about weight reduction though there really isn't a choice.
