I like the idea of the hydraulic mount, but it looks like its welded directly to the front cross member. It also looks like you eliminated the brace that the original mount was bolted to and would triangulate the frame to support upper control arm. Looking at it, I would be worried about flex/deflection on the frame under cornering load from the upper control arm.
Do you have plans to brace the frame?
