Front antiwrap on a CJ

[Clubbs]

Sat below my 85 CJ7 with a dana 60 full width front trying to figure out where to put an antiwrap bar. It sits on front waggy leaf packs but I took two leaves out so it's a fiver now. Running 4.56 gears and 42 swampers. Shackle is still up front.

I've got the trans and t-case out for a refresh and was going to weld in a cross member just in front of the bell housing. This tube physically fits fine, but there's no room for the Barnes antiwrap shackle unless I hang it down. Exhaust header dumps right there...

May be able to route the exhaust around a skid plate shackle mount but that's a long antiwrap bar.

Anyone found a home for a front antiwrap on a leaf sprung CJ or does everyone just run it till they can afford a 4 link?
