Then behind the trailing arm cross member at an angle outboard then back inboard at a sharper angle and over the rear axle.
Please correct my assessment if you would please. And if you can just explain your strategy any further that would be greatly appreciated.

must have missed this post. sorry. This was pretty basic and quick, we just tried to stiffen up the high stress areas. Most of the orange diagonal bracing was 1 1/4" x .120 wall tube. We could have done more, but we were trying to keep it simple. TIP: Triangles are a lot stronger than squares. running tubular bracing in big X's or making big triangle will pay off the best.
