directly over the rear axle is a tube crossmember,  drill a 1/2 inch hole  and run a couple bolts thru it so you mount the shocks about 12 inches apart at the top directly over the third member

i dont know how stron it is to jsut drill a hole through a crossmember, especially since that tube isnt all tthat sturdy to begin, with, might just cause it to break....

www.budbuilt. com has a shock mount that clamps over the tube, and to me, that seems less invasive than a 1/2" drilled through a 1" thick tube.....

im not sur but i think i dont ave the round bar under my rrunner ....i chek tomorow and tell us about ...will take picture to

On my 80 that tube is where the original shock mount is. And it lasted just fine...... But I think that newer trucks have the shocks mounted to the frame. I say, Give it a shot. What the worst that can happen? Break? We all break things, we get over it, we fix it, we move on.
