Porterbuilt Dropmember and steering linkage

For those of you that have the rack and pinion on the newer coilover/touring crossmembers, how/where did you mount the support bearing for the steering shaft?

The newer dropmembers with rack and pinion - the steering shaft feeds underneath the drivers side dropmember support brace - so the angle of attack to the steering shaft is pretty severe - requiring the use of the 3rd knuckle and a support bearing.

What I'm unsure of is, where to mount that heim joint and do i need to make a bracket of some sort? I did some googling and searching, but couldn't find what other folks have done, i guess because the coilover dropmember is a bit newer, and the rack and pinion mount is a bit closer to the cab and lower on the crossmember.
