Default upper mount location for limit strap

hey, i have my torsion bars cranked up and extended ranchos. I'm looking in to getting limit straps because the extended ranchos allow for droop that poses danger to the cv's. Has anyone drilled a hole to mount limit straps in that tab off the frame that holds the upper control arm? would this be strong enough? I would think it is but just wondering what everyone uses for a upper mounting point. Thanks

yeah i know. its just that the frame is boxed up there so i was looking to take the easy way out using the frame tab that holds the upper a arm. When people bolt right through the frame rail up there do they drill straight through both sides of the whole boxed rail and just use a really long g8 bolt with washers?

i know some come with weld on brackets too, which is an option, i have a welder. I've just seen pics on a few different forums where people have just drilled and bolted.
