What is the minimum amount of bar that would need to be added from the back towers to the transmission cross member? Understanding that I am running a bar from the back hoop of the cage to the shock tower.
Could I just run a bar from a plate on the rear side of the shock, midway to the top of the transmission cross member? Just a simple triangle. Would that help? Picture below. |

Thanks for the responses.
I'm going to run bars from my new cage front hoop the front shock towers and also from the rear hoop to the rear shock towers. I don't want to be adding a lot of weight, but I'm thinking at the minimum, based upon the comments received, that this might be effective, i.e., the picture below. The question is whether this modification is worth the weight it adds. |
