you can go with your choice of traction bar...usually braces around the the leaf spring and then welds to the underside of the car. Or you can go with the cheaper version by lakewood=slapper bars.

After upgrading from Shelby underriders to Cal-Tracs, I can definitely say that the Cal-Tracs are far more effective.
