You need to pick up a shock relocation kit, or build one of your own.
If you triangulate your stock lower arms you will have a perfect spot to mount the shock to as well...
As for the rear typically people mount the shock to a bridge bar and then to the axle...Just make sure that when mounting shocks you keep them as straight as possible, anything over 30 degrees will render the shock useless!!

As for reference to the triangulation of stock lower arms check out a local members build HERE
About 1/2 way down the page you will see a row of pictures that will show you in detail what this entails...
As far as the rear, you are talking about something totally different. A bridge bar is essentially a piece of 1"-1.5" round (preferably DOM tubing) that spans the distance between the notches. It would resemble something like this:
The lower tabs would attach to the axle...keep in mind there are many ways to setup shocks, but this is just the easiest way...
