Sorry, I was unclear. The Stag doesn't rip the mounts out of the frame,
instead it rips them out of the diff. There is an extension housing bolted
to the front of the main diff housing, with ears that take links to mounting
points near the outer sills. I've not had the pleasure myself, but I've
heard from (and seen photos) of several failures of the extension housing.
Supposedly goes from a nice driving car to totally disabled in a hearbeat.
