I say if those ribbed bottom mounts for the lower arms can handle the tension loads of the leverage on the lower arms then they can handle the torsional and shear loads of a mount. If you can break those mounts off the rear end then I want to ride in this beast! If I was going to do anything to it that would be maybe drill and tap the holes to the same size as the top mount bolts or just run a good grade hardware (8 might be too brittle) and run a stout piece of angle along each pair of side holes and build your mounts from that. It'll work, just do it! The lower control arms are already boxed and pretty rugged from memory. Make sure the arm mounts are good as there are a couple of places they hold road dirt on top and get a little tender. Put a good urethane bush in them to control the movement there.
