Default TRACTION BARS

i've got traction bars on my 78 and they dont fit worth a sh#$ because of the way they are designed to be installed and the way the shocks are mounted.the use a u-bolt in the front and back and they are clamped to the leaf springs.the passenger side fits closer to the spring like it is supposed to because the shock is mounted in front of the rearend.the drivers side will not fit on the leaf spring in the same place as the passenger side because the shock mounted behind the rearend will not allow me to slide the traction bar far enough forward.the way they are mounted,the passenger side is about 1 1/4 in front of the driver side.do they make a traction bar that fits to the bottom plate that holds the rearend in.

I had customized them to fit. I had to cut and reweld it back together to make it fit right. I had also boxed it so I could still have my sway bar on it.
