Chassis mount torque arm with DS loop is the only way to go. Not only will it keep the underside from receiving massive damage if the DS breaks, but will also take the torque and strain off the trans tail shaft. Win win.

lol, RamAir, I am upgrading it anyways which is why I am not upset. The only reason it wasnt yet was because I ran out of funds until winter lol. I am finishing up the 8.8 Rear End and then I am buying $1700 worth of suspension. I was coming soon, just didnt think about the stock torque arm going out on the street lmao.

Unfortunately I lost a chunk of my tail shaft when the torque arm unloaded on it! BMR had just come out with the relocation mount and it was back on the road again. It happened when I was visiting my GF at WCU and I ended up putting steel wire around it to keep it from slapping around on the ride home lol.

lol nice! Nothin a little bailin wire cant fix! haha
Here is an update. Got the old arm out today and assessed the damage.
It bent during a half throttle launch from a dig and apparently it took out something in the rear end as well because it feels like it skips a tooth once in a while....SO, guess what I did for the rest of the day! You got it, started on mt 8.8 build haha! Thread for that coming next!
Here is a pic of the arm outside the car.
