Engine raise / modifying motor mounts

Has anyone posted about raising their engine/modifying engine mounts in here? ik a lot of maxima owners get axle bind from lowering them, I’ve got about an inch of clearance for the oil pan and exhaust. I need to replace a cv axle but I’m wanting to raise the engine about an inch to correct for the angle so I don’t have to worry about it again. Anyone done it b4? It’d be great If I could be directed to another thread or a video I can’t find any vids on yt thx! Have a good day max owners<3

So, you’ve modified your suspension to lower the vehicle (as many us have). Due to that change, you’re experiencing driveline stress and wear (as many of us have) and to address those driveline issues, you’re wanting to modify the engine mounts in order to change the position of the engine in the engine compartment … is that all correct?

Check Red Lion Racing, I think it was them who offer offset motor mounts.

Welcome to the .org. Some 5th Gen owners have installed raised Red Lion Racing engine mounts which help to save CV axles, but the downside is that they introduce unwanted vibrations.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Red Lion Racing (RLR) on Facebook offers those. But have you considered....not slamming the car?
