Default What driveshaft safety loop works best with TD's?

I am getting ALOT of banging when going over bumps because the driveshaft safety loop keeps hitting my TSP True Dual exhaust setup. Which safety loop would work best with a 3" True Dual exhaust setup without banging all over the place? What kind of set ups do you guys have?

If you want to PM me pictures I can take a look to see if ours will work better for you. We have one of the best tunnel forming bolt in drive shaft loops on the market. You also don't have to worry about ground clearance like you do with some.

here ya go. this is the best fitting bolt-on loop on the market and will work with most any torque arm or exhaust, no ground clearance issues like most others do.

^ Thats a good set up. Not that I was looking for ground clearence or TD clearance, I did get a UMI DS Loop and it cleared after market header/Ypipe set up and better up and down clearence for the DS.

It would make the process a lot easier to do so since ours also mounts behind the fuel lines. You could try to get it in by snaking it around I'm sure if you tried, all though it might take longer than just simply unbolting a couple items and bolting them back on.

I have ZERO issues with my Lakewood DSL and my 3" TSP duals.
