UMI HD motor mounts

Is anyone running UMI’s heavy duty urethane motor mounts? They look very similar to solid mounts but with maybe some cushion to them. I currently have Energy suspension mounts but they’re starting to fatigue and crack. My biggest concern it’s the mounts is that they keep the engine at the current height or possibly a bit lower. I don’t have much more room to go up.

Of course, the durometer rating of the urethane used will affect the level of vibration damping. Some urethanes are relatively soft, and some are quite hard. One might thing that the manufacturer would consider the original design when sizing the replacement mounts, but we can never be sure.
