I figured out my problem. I took a hitch piece and welded some angle iron to the tops of it and bolted the angles to the frame on the inside and the part that hold the torsion rods on the outside. and with a hitch mount flag pole I can have it in while in camp and if it gets windy I can take it out. And I feel I kept it far enough from the body to keep it from touching it should some wind blow. I have yet to try it out in real world conditions but it seems strong. As a side note I noticed that the bracket that the torsion bar comes trough was bent inwards so my mount straightened it and made it stronger. Yeah, 2 fixes in one.
