No additional support needed for the LCA mounts as that's where the factory composite spring mounted. It's about 3/8" thick.

Those Roadmasters are one of the most underrated highway cruisers

Forgive me if I missed this, but on the 'Vette setup is there a swaybar? Seems like the transverse leaf would make it unnecessary. I can't remember from the last time I was under one.
