I'd add another Ubolt for redundancy, but looks good.

That was my initial concern, but was advised it was not needed. Let's see if it will give out. In a few weeks, we will all know....

It will probably be fine. I just like a little overkill. And you have room for a second one so I figured why not.

Not really feelin that mount on the bar side. I'd call Justin at Lucky8 and see about getting a TerraFirma mount as well. That is what I have.

That mount is fine. I ran a near identical one for a couple years and just made one for a friend. The metal looks a tad on the thin side but if it doesn't bend then its good. Using U-bolts to secure the damper bracket to the drag link is a common practice by many car manufactures and it works. Ples its adjustable so you're not limited to just one make/model of dampler.
