That type shock aren't dual action---they pretty much have so much compression/rebound-----when they went to staggered shocks( one forward/one back side of housing) it was pretty much after they went to coil springs, which didn't have the wrap up tendency---


On the exhaust dip collecting water/condensation---drill an 1/8 hole in the bottom of the bend like on the bottom of lots of oem mufflers---


And----------if you are going to change anything here, its this time to do it---not after all the smoothing and painting


and the cost of this change would pretty much just be a few hours of his time to turn those lower mount plates side to side andweld in another cross bar for the top mounts---and do that before cutting out the one that's there now--use it for rigidty while your working then remove if you want----
