    Most people weld on reinforcement tabs on each side of the mounting tab.

    Also, I belive IE has a swaybar mount that is supposedly very nice.

          are you talking about the mounts on the trailing arms? If so, i have a solution. Mine ripped out and made a huge mess back there, so I had a buddy of mine take some 1.5 or 2in square tubing and cut it kinda like a triangle, (imagine takeing a square tube, and cutting at a 45degree angle to make a simple 3 sided bracket) With maybe the top square side 2' long. Drill a hole in it for the link hardware. Use a grinder to grindoff the old mounting locations, and weld the new ones in. MUCH stronger. Ill get pics one day.
