The shock tower wasn't meant to handle all the weight, so you weld on the gussets to add extra strength.
And by clearance issues I meant that it will be up against the coilover and if you mounted it to the bracket bolts then when it gets tight it basically has to go around the coils like so ( instead of |

Limit straps:
this is how im going to do mine
Here you go. Since I haven't run my sway bar in like 2 years I used the factory sway bar hole in the LCA to mount the bottom of the straps.
For the upper mount I made a triangle shaped bracket and welded it to the frame and the RCD shock tower gusset.
I used the adjustable clevis on the bottom of the strap to set where the straps stop the suspension droop. It stops the suspension roughly 1" from full droop.
My straps are 12" Beard straps. I'd probably go with a 10" strap with no lift kit.

I finally received them, and the welds looked pretty nice this time. All it took was one e-mail. I'm going to put them on tomorrow. I will get some pics.

You talking about how to mount the limit straps? If so, I'll get some pics tomorrow of how I did it. My set-up is real similar to the pics above.
