WOT-tech engine mount

Ok. As most of you know, the shop i brought my car to broke one of the bolts in the engine mount (the one bolted to the engine side). We got that sucker out and i had to switch back to the stock engine mount because when my buddy and i were doing the 3500 swap we stripped the threads out of one of the holes in the WOT-tech mount.


MY QUESTION IS...... has anybody else had any problem with the stiffer engine mount? There is so much pressure on the WOT one compared to the stock one. I just feel like there is too much tension on those bolts that hold the engine up on the little mounting plate that goes from the engine side mount to the one bolted on the frame of the car.

Another thing, the WOT-tech engine mount is made out of low grade aluminum. My friend knows some guys who work in the arsenal and he said he can get one CNC'ed for me out of a higher grade aluminum or hardened steel. Because he said it shouldn't have stripped that easy. We barely had much force on that bolt and it stripped it.
