Grab a sheet of cardbord, put it on the ground, lay down & look - then you'll know.
What I can tell you is that sometime in '05 they stopped putting in the captive nuts in the recess, and the Mopar mounting kit I got was short those 2 nuts - got them at home Depot - I took a bolt with me - I'll save you a lot of time - they are METRIC.
I also came up with a trick - stuff a piece of paper towel in the recess to hold the nut up to the hole so you can start the bolt. Then, take a BFS (Big, F...ing Screwdriver) and wedge it agaist a flat on the nut while you tighten the bolt - you can't get a wrench in there. AND those bolts have to be TIGHT.

I will look again but I casually looked when I bought the car and I could not find the mounting holes. But if I remember they were kinda out of the way and I only found them on my 03 when I had the bar and linkage kit in hand and they guided me to the mounting locations.

Hope you have better luck than most with the Eibach mounting kit - many have had problems - the Mopar mounting kit is actually better!

It may be better but I have got a lot of extra parts now from Eibach and they did make good on my last ones that were defective from my 2003. Seems that the parts that went bad were supose to be solid but the outside vendor made them hallow and mine rusted / corroded out and broke. New ones are solid. Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of the squeek in my 06 install bushings!!

Good tips, but for a bit more info, they didn't include any captive nuts on my 04, either...
