Since you have stock rails, I would drop them at the
corner where the shock bar mounts or on the rail at
that point(either way thats only a couple of inches)...
that gives you the best loading

No not Santa Claus,but "Bad Bob".
Mr.P(Mike) welcome back.If you look close you will see the shock area is tied to the trunk bars.Full chassis and round tube cars are done differently and depending on the wheelbase and main hoop location you have to determine the appropiate areas for bar effectivness.If we tied the X-brace to the shock area that would leave over 4 feet of frame rail unsupported,and two bar landing within 2 feet of each other.The X is just above the radius bend of the 4-link brackets where it do the most good.We follow NHRA and SFI quality assurance specifications as not to have any issues certifying our cages.
