There deff will be a cross bar. I'm thinking tower is best, only because I don't have to cut a giant hole to mount it. A tower I can build sheet metal around it to close it in?

I wouldn't do it unless your trying to build a pro rock crawler and max out your up travel.

There was a thread recently of a guy using some ford towers that he worked into the rear wells and it looked like it worked great. That's what I would probably do and fab some crossbar to connect them.
