steering stabilizer placement with high steer

Been searching various boards trying to get a clear picture of how people have placed a steering stabilzer with high steer but no luck getting a clear example.
Here is what I have to work with.

Hey, I'm in the same spot as described in the OP, except I'm working with an 88 pickup. I know I'm supposed to attach it (via ubolts) to the drag link, but the perfect spot on the passenger side frame rail is eluding me. I would think it's gotta be either directly above the drag link or just to the rear of that spot. What do you think?

My old setup, tab welded to the front edge of the spring plate:

I'm running the All-pro setup. It comes with tabs to weld to the frame, the u-bolts and plate for the drag link, and a damper. Seems to work pretty well and its not in the way of anything.

I'm running the Trail Gear IFS Eliminator kit. After mocking it up and extending the stabilizer halfway, it became pretty apparent that the proper spot is slightly in front of the drag link, behind the two weep holes on the bottom side of the passenger frame rail.

With the stabilizer mounted to the spring plate was there any problem with clearance between the shock body and the axle housing?

the way earthbound has it is how I planned to do it, but I haven't gotten around to installing it. Never felt i needed it.
