are you talking about the bolt or the mount, mount is welded to the rearend and shock bolts to it.

there are plastic pads just behind the front wheels for front. center of differential or on the axle for rear, there is also spots on the subframe that can be used.

on the side of the plastic block it says, don't jack here. that means the metal rocker in front of the block. if you place lift pads or a jack on the metal you will bend the metal flange that the fender bolts to and the bottom of the fender pops out. if you use the plastic block you will not damage anything
