Does anyone know where to get theses bars from? I've only found them at Magnumforce so far. I'd like to get a pair to help stiffen up the front end when I put my new suspension in.

We made my own and incorporated some smaller tubes to mount the front plate to the go down and tie into the sides of the frame rails.

You might check US Car Tool (USCT). They have chassis stiffening kits but I do not know if they have the bars you are seeking.

Yea, I checked with them already. I did purchase their subframe connectors.

Again, these are home built but under the fender rather than in the engine bay. There was no issues with a 29 inch tall M/T front runner.

Did they help stiffen up the chassis? With the hellcat going in I'm thinking they might be a good upgrade.
I would say so. I can jack the car up from one of the lower control arms and pick 3 of the 4 tires off of the ground.

XV Engineering offers a similar unit, although it does not go all the way to the core support.
XV INNER FENDER BRACE

Its not like this is a really complicated bend. Mock something up with a cardboard tube, buy some DOM steel tube, and have a a muffler shop bend to match the cardboard tube mock-up
