Thanks for the pic Wookie. I wonder why Pro Comp didn't use the same mounting method as Rancho and Fabtech.

I would assume that they designed their mount to be used in conjunction with their lift kit. In that case the lower control arm bolts would already be removed so it would not be a big deal to use that as a mounting point. I did not want to go through the hassle of removing the bolt so I went looking for another location and came up with the hole in the crossmember. This location keeps nearly the same geometery as the original location but is much easier to install. The only thing is that the hole is slotted so there is a chance that the bracket could slip. To mitigate this I used a lock washer on either side of the bolt and tightened the crap out of the nut. When I removed the stabilizer before I traded that truck in the bracket had not moved.
