Cal Trac Shock Mounts

[treessavoy]

I have always tied the rear end down but the front was tied down by the front cross member, now that I'm changing over to the Calvert's I'm thinking about loosely tying down the rear frame then over-inflating the rear tires to cut down on bounce.

Can't see any other way to tie the car down without tying down the suspension or frame?

I had the left side shock mount break of completely, so I checked the right side and found it was cracked also.

So based on what John passed on to Alex, we should soften the shocks when transporting the car? Makes sense to me. Some of the roads around me leave alot to be desired.
