Whiteline sway bar question

I've seen how the Whiteline front bar attaches to the lower shock mount. This seems to be the only available attachment point for a bar like the Whiteline and similar PTP bar.
Question - is there any concern this will overwork the lower shock mount? The mounting has to be extended quite a ways away inward to clear the shock, putting even more leverage on the pin. Anyone had any experiences of this pin failing over time?
Taking a quick look at one of the lower trailing arms I noted there is a small blank boss on either side of the arm, down in the area near the ball joint. Maybe it's possible to drill and run a bolt through this boss, and attach the sway bar at that point? Seems like it might weaken the arm at a critical location, maybe not such a good idea. Only other sway bar option I can think of is running an internal bar like the Formula Vee guys. In conjunction with some good coil over shocks, maybe that would be a better approach?
Any thoughts? Jeff
