no kidding! i was actually wondering about the spohn tq arm, im glad to know it fits! do you guys have just the regular tq arm, or the one with driveshaft loop(s)? also, did you have to route the exhaust pipes around the tq arm, or was that not necessary? any pics? thanks!

I'd also like to see pics. I'm using the BMR extreme torque arm but it had to be cut, flipped and rewelded to work.

it has to be a tight fit with the spohn.

I'm runing a tunnel mount MAC torque arm. VERY stout piece.

Using the BMR track pac tq arm here, The crossmember is now bolt on instead of weld on but this was the only modifications made.

Do either of you have any pictures of your Spohn TQ arm with your true duals installed from underneath? I am trying to figure out of a spohn tq arm will fit with my true duals. I don't know if I will have the clearance.

I HIGHLY recomend a tunnel mount torque arm, one that you bolt into the tunnel (if you don't mind drilling). It will give you a TON more clearance. I'll have to get pics of my setup soon.

The MAC tunnel mount torque arm comes with a DS loop and is only around $300.. Only bad part is its non-adjustable.

Thanks

Those look like 2.5's. BTW, very nice installation, Tom! Looks like you have much better ground clearance than most people with true duals.

Thanks, Kook's did an awesome job as usual I'm just fortunate enough to live close an know the guys (there was alot of cursing goin on during this install)they are definately 2.5" more than enough for my aplication i picked up more tourque with the additional backpressure of the tails(gotta love the G5X2 cam )
