I always place mine under the lower control arms. If I need the suspension free I put them under the frame rails.

if you need the suspension free I either go under the frame rail below the door hinges or under the bumper supports

Every time I read one of your posts Chryco I feel sorry for you in the dang cold. I sure hope you find a solution. About the only thing nice about this miserable desert is the climate. 71 degrees right now at 1:00 A.M.

Under control arms if I need the weight on the suspension, under the front frame rails under the door hinges if I need it to hang.
