Lets see if we cant give you a place to start. First you need to know the full extended length of your shocks and ensure you have brake lines, abs lines, etc. to match. If not go by the shrtest fully extended length line (i.e. your brake lines may reach full extension at 12" of downward travel.). Once you determine what your limiting factor is subtract about 15% and that should be the total combined length of your limiting straps and mounts. I would put one end of the strap to the fram and another on the axle near the spring. YOu can find some in expensive weld on tabs for your axle so you can bolt the straps on. It really isnt to dificult to do, just take your time and make sure your straps are short enough to prevent any damage but not so short as to limit the full flex capacity of your vehicle.
