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.  |
