they don't fit together. . .

I had TSP with my UMI body mount. . . and forced the TDs to angle down (gave me about 1" clearance) So the TDs went and the SLP LM2 came-a-workin just fine.

1 or the other

Same here. I went with the smaller torque arm so I could run my TDs over the axle and out the back. The extreme torque arm is nice, but not necessary for someone at my power level.

Getting true duals to work with our arm is hard but not impossible....here is an example

I don't see why you couldn't run a set of true duals except without the x/h pipe, that's what I would do if my T/A was limiting my choices

the main problem with the BMR extreme is the crossmember that runs across the bottom of the car which yours does not have. a friend of mine has true duals on his trans am and what he did was cut the tabs off of the crossmember, turned it to get clearance under the crossmember, welded it in the car, and welded new tabs back on for the shackles that mount the front of the torque arm. i will see if he can post some pics for you.

I was able to get my duals with the BMR arm but had to do some modding. The 'dip' in the crossmember was cutout, flipped and rewelded. My duals were built on the car and the X was right at that spot on the crossmember. The exhaust was still very low on the car.
