Default Ladder Bar 8.8 build

Why is nobody fabbing up ladder bars to connect to the body mounting point of the lca? Seems so much better than the short bar that people are welding on those 8.8's.

most people want to keep stock style suspension and doing that makes your car not have stock style **** and if your street racing or at the track makes it harder to get races

I finished my short bar set up a few days ago. WOW it takes alot of getting used to! instead of the rear feeling like it drops upon accelleration the car lifts evenly but you can feel the back end pushing the car. the car no longer goes through the front lift, rear squat then move process.....
Cornering is still as controlled as before cannot even tell there are mods done.
