This is one we made for an aftermarket bar on my '98. Was originally pieces of angle with 2 slots in them. We cut off the corners & got these kinda evil looking mounts. Had to drill the holes for the end links, plus the bracket to frame bolt holes & the mounting holes in the frame.

The hole in the mount between the mounting holes is to allow the bracket to sit over top of the big rivet there in the frame. I'm kinda iffy on this mount though. Just being held on one side makes me wonder, so every now & then (when the truck was on the road!) I'd pull that bolt to check for wear &/or straightness. Although I pushed the truck pretty hard in the year that this was on the truck, I never found a prob with it. Still, I prefer the mount like the factory style that holds both sides of the upright & bolt.

This is a factory bar & mount that was made to fit my '97. It sits a bit too far forward, as the upright is supposed to be just that. Upright. It need to be moved back a bit in order for the link to be straight up & down. Not gonna drill new holes in the frame. Just gonna slot the holes in the mount. I also used the factory nuts & bolts for the mount. The nuts are specific. They have a tab on them that locks them against the frame.

Shows how I mounted the bar to the rear end housing. 3" muffler clamps. This pic shows it with the regular 3" clamps. Since this pic, I've swapped those clamps for 3" heavy duty ones. They're longer & a made outa heavier gauge.
