I gotta learn to post pics, I made some really simple brackets for mounting my shocks in front of the axle, they bolt to the frame and I didn't have to run a tube across. (my car is nicely painted underneath so I try to avoid cutting/welding where I can) and the only class I'd run around me doesn't allow an ARB
With how stiff these shocks are valved we felt it was need to run a bar across. You really need to control the extension on drag radial car.
No doubt, I made a wide plate to mount to the frame and spread any load out. One year of street and track time, no issues yet.

I see most of the vertical's are coil overs on bar cars. What's the advantage of vertical's without coil overs and Cal Trac's??

I really need to make a new upper shock mount for mine since my back brace is denting my shocks in and also I have cheap shocks and my car has a rediculous amount of rear lift. From what I am reading that is from my cheapo shocks. What is a good affordable shock that works decent on a leaf spring b body. My car doesnt run 9's but its heavy as hell and my 8 3/4 has over 100 passes on it now.

Really depends on what springs you have. The ride height can change a lot from car to car. Best to measure extended length and length with weight on car.
