It's not that hard...even with hand tools. I use wobble-tip extensions so
it's much easier to get by the suspension and "tight" spots. No aftermarket
mounts that I know of...but unless you're doing some serious mods (and a lot
of HP/TQ)...the factory mounts will work just fine.
Have to check on the cost of the mounts though - it's been a while since I
purchased them (put new ones on my truck on '02).

It's that easy? It looked like a PITA to me. Can i do with with regular
hand tools Ie: Sockets, wrenches, and a BMF Hammer? Also how much should
those mounts run $? And are there any aftermarket ones that are better than
the stock ones?
