Bought new motor mounts and paid about $45 each for those from the Chevy dealer.
Right now, my cab is 5" off the frame in the front and 4.25" in ther rear. If you drop your cab to 3" off the frame, it will definitely need a larger trans tunnel.
Thanks for the driveline angle lesson. I will step back and rethink this a bit.

Good call on the driveline angle. Angle at the rearend is good. Will have to raise the transmission to the factory trans mount height to get it right. This will cause the trans to hit the bottom of the cab so some modification of the trans cover/cab floor will be in order.
