Any beefy torque arms that mount to the chassis that can clear 3" true duals? I don't think the BMR Xtreme does from what I hear, but are there any more options?

I asked the same questions over and over. The Alston was the easiest to fit/clear, but I really dont like the mounting so it will be TA purchse then reroute the exhaust to clear around it. It wont take much for a shop to bend the pipes down slightly and will only give up a little ground clearance. Thats my plans.

Chris Alston Chassis Works

They make a good piece, but I did see the front mount on one snap off @ Thunder Shootout 2 years ago. We had to take it to some guy down the road to get repaired.

YOu can get the Alston TA through FLP. I emailed both Alston and FLP, Alston said, sorry we dont have any ...... and FLP said yep can get one done in as little as 2 weeks. Price cant be beat. Sounded like Alston really didnt want to take the time to take requests. FLP Customer service was on track with it though. Good luck.
I didnt like the drilling issues and stuff, but it is still an option for me.

I ended up going with the trans mount BMR TR, which is probably not beefy enough for you but it works for now at least for me. I am have a lot of trouble finding a DS loop to fit around my duals, might just buy the lakewood and modify it.

Reread what I qouted, the BMR torque arm that relocates it off the tail shaft will mostlikely not work with duals.

Bmr now makes a transmission crossmember that relocates the original transmission
mounted torque arm from the tailshaft of the transmission to the new crossmember.
That is what he was talking about.If you had a random tech torque arm you can relocate it off the transmission with this piece for example.This should work for true
duals I would think.Yank also makes a similar product.
