Limiting straps

Alright, now that i have the lift on, i am worried about the CV joints on the front and the rear axle droop. I searched about people running 18" straps in the rear, but no pictures came up of where to install them in the rear. I also see that sonoran steel has front limiting strap mounts to weld in, but has anyone thought of just mounting the top strap to one of the top hat bolts and running it to the bottom shock bolt? Any additional ideas would help too. Thanks.

not 100% sure, but after reading about others that have torn CV boots in the front after some wheeling, i'd figure to error on the safe side. The rear i'm less worried about. I'm not worried about the shocks breaking because they are brand new, but i'd like to get them eventually as a precaution as well if something where to break. I'd figure after the money i just invested in the whole lifting it right thing.

Do you have swaybars? Those will limit travel some.

I wouldn't worry about the rear, I am running too long shocks, and no swaybar. The only thing it does is eat the gas tank since its dented some.

Front i wouldn't worry about, once you start throwing in a front locker you might want to look into something if you start messing things up.

My limit straps run from the upper control arm bolt down to the lower shock bolt:
