As above, i also have Vibratechnics gearbox mounts.

These two mounts take most of the load, the other mount is just a support mount and im not aware of an uprated one. If yours is a bit tired then a new one from Ford will be fine.

I used Deflex mounts on my cab because i couldnt afford Vibratechnics ones at the time so i went for the cheaper option only i wish i hadnt as a bolt snapped after a couple of months. I was sent new stronger bolts from Deflex free of charge and have had no problems since but still wish i had bought the Vibratechnics mounts as they sound like they are far better quality.
