I'm assuming you mean the panhard bar?

If so, I've done it 2 different ways. For mild drops (4~6"), plate the inside of the pass side trailing arm w/some 3/16 min thickness steel to attach a mount to. Purchase a long bar or extend the factory bar to go from the OE driver side mount to the pass side trailing arm. CPP has revised their Super Track Bar kit to work like this & I feel it clears everything pretty good.

If the drop is more than 6", I build the panhard bar mount into my lowering block. On my truck (RE-6 bags bolted directly to the frame/t-arm + 2" blocks) this puts the panhard bar parallel to the ground @ ride height which is optimum.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
