Search wasn't my friend here and I came up blank. I found an install thread but the location was eyeballed. I thought that there was a template out there that showed exact location. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Just a thought. You could get the reinforcement kit and that'll show you the exact placement. Probably not a bad idea to reinforce anyways if you're going to a big aftermarket swaybar.

The pelican forum has a good write up. I used it with no problems.

Thanks for the link. I'm going with a 23mm bar. Haven't heard of guys ripping out or bending up their mounts. Is this an issue? If it is, I'll install it. A pound or two added up front wouldn't hurt me either.

I've got a 1" (25.4 mm) speedway engineering bar with stock torsion bars and no reinforcement. I haven't had a problem yet, but I think it becomes an issue when you combine a heavy bar with big T-bars. I will reinforce when I go to heavier torsion bars. I was more offering the link because, if I were in your situation I would probably just do both at the same time.
