I bought some replacement mounts off of ebay. But the OE mounts didn't prevent the engine from torquing over enough to beat my transfercase shifter against the floor. I also had a K&N circular air filter on the top of my engine that got ripped off when the engine torqued over enough to allow the top of the filter to hit the bottom of the hood. I ended up welding three chain links on each mount from the top of the mount to the frame. They have enough slack in them to let the OE mounts dampen vibrations but prevent excessive movement. The chains have been on for over a year now with no issues. I did try some inchworm solid engine mounts and used them long enough to drive around the block and take them off again due to the massive amounts of vibration being transmitted to the rest of the truck.

That sounds like a good plan, remove all the bolts and jack the engine up a little.
