2.7L, same motor i have. Hmmmm, I would almost have to see what your working with to give you ideas on what to do, can you post some pics?? I have an AEM Short Ram on my truck, and when i did my body lift, i had to cut down, machine and finagle the original mounting bracket to get it to work.

Make a bracket that will support it. Attach it to the engine block. There should be some threaded holes that are not being used or run it off one of the accessory bracket mounts. Run the support bracket out to the tube and attach it to the tube with a large hose clamp. You may have to twist the bracket 90* to be able to attach it to the tube.

You do not want to wire tie it to the truck body. You do not want it attached to the truck body. If you do, when the engine shifts in its mounts under acceleration it will rip things apart. That is what happened to me mine with that POS FIPK. It ripped a large hole in the sheet metal of my inner fender wall.
