New 1LE tranny mount smacking

2 months ago i installed a 1LE tranny mount as my stock was cracked bad....now every bump i hit it smacks hard (but it sounds like its more towards the rear? like i have something in the trunk and its smacking every bump)..i went under there today and inspected it and the mount looked fine...i did have to raise the tranny about an inch when i put the screws back in on the crossmember but i felt like it didnt drop that much when i had the jack there? are the 1LE mounts bigger or taller than stock and could that have anything to do with it? What can i do? It sounds and feels bad and i dont even want to drive it.HELP

Sounds like it's your rear torque arm mount at the differential.

Just look at where the torque arm meets the differential. It's actually just bolted to the diff, so if you can wiggle it around, just tighten the bolts.

I got the 1le and no probs with it. As long as everything is tightly screwed it should be fine. The torque arm is the next thing to look at.
