I was going to put this in the "Center of Gravity" section, but figured I'd get more traffic here.
As of now they've been mounted to the skid plate. Since I've lowered the belly height and have been hitting bigger rocks, I need a better way of mounting them.
I'm planning on mounting one at the rear output ( Above the bottom bar ) and another mount at the adapter ( Below the top bar )
My main question is going to be the side mounts?
The options are....
( 1 ) The right side... 2 bolt mount on the 205
( 2 ) The left side ... PTO cover on the 205
( 3 ) The left side ... PTO cover on the 203

All mounts are going to be poly ( Same as the motor mounts ) and are going to be mounted to the cage/seat tubes ( Am going to add bar as needed ) not to the frame. There's enough bracing on both, there's no twisting going on.
How stiff is to stiff? I don't want the motor to move more than the transfer cases.

 
For the life of me can’t remember which thread the ORD guys mad a couple really nice write ups on this recently.

I’d mount it 205 PTO plate, and make the bolt point/attachment point inline with where the bolts are at the transmission foot. That would hopefully keep from having everything mounted on 3 separate axis

More than likely this one https://ck5.com/forums/threads/np-205-203-doubler.331452/

That's more to using the bottom mounts and adding side mounts. I'm thinking the bottom mounts would be more stable ( Wider ) and not needing to be held from the side too.
 
Every single doubler ive seen that didnt mount from the bottom oem locations has broken at least one bell housing.

Not including 72blazer cause I don't know how his is done but his 203 is upside down.
 
You want to try and avoid making the trans / t-case mounts wider then the engine mounts. Does bad things when you do.
