Should I choose the standard motor mount or the 1" motor mount lift?

I don't have a body lift but I have a 6.5" Long Arm. The log arms connect to the T-Case Skid Drop bracket and I don't want to change how the arms attach so I will not be doing a tummy tuck or similar to raise the T-Case skid plate.

Are your stock MM's bad? If so, just go with new RUBBER mounts. BD mounts are known to use stiffer rubber that can cause vibes. I've used cheaper Anchor rubber mounts and never had any issues.

What are you trying to fix/accomplish?
 
I was told that the stroker will cause premature failure of OEM motor mounts, the failure is more prevalent on one side, I think it is the passenger. I dont want a failure.

Failure just means the rubber wears out it doesn't mean the engine falls out or anything. I wouldn't worry much about it and just stick with stock style engine mounts. People that say stuff like that either bought really expensive mounts and want you to join in on the fun or sell them. The Anchor mounts are $9 each on Rockauto, you'll get good at swapping them out after changing them every 5 or 10 years.
 
after running the more bombproof mounts for years I went back to some cheapo stock ones. Much less vibration at idle.

I ran a supercharged I6 for years - running more HP and torque than a standard stroker - on the stock motor mounts. No issues at all.
