No pics but basically an extended bump stop, double nutted through the factory mount.

not the easiest to see but where the rubber used to be bolted i have a chain with a plastic sleeve over it. the other end has a clamp wrapped around the front strut. 12 years & it hasn't been a problem.

What ever you choose to use, be sure it is progressive in nature so as not to shock the chassis when the limit is hit. Any solid type stop will try to unload the rear tires when a sudden stop of front end travel occurs if there is still a load on the front tires.
You can't see the end, but that eye bolt goes through the upper A arm and uses shock absorber rubber biscuits to cushion the stop.

Even a valve spring on the end of the cable to help
soften the end travel
