Do yourself a HUGE favor and get a MADMAN torque arm. His is the best on the market, especially with true duals.

Checked out Madman. Is that all bolt up? It said something about welding on the website. I couldn't really tell from the pics. It its a bit too pricey for me. What about other TqAs like spohn?

I have heard that the Madman is too stiff for a frequently driven street vehicle. Is that true? Any pics with the duals under it? Thanks

You mean PA racing?
Will it mount to another location closer to the rearend instead of where the factory tunnel brace was, since that is too tight of a space with the 3 inch duals tucked up?

We are in the process of designing our torque arm setup. We are using my car to test it. I have 3 inch true duals so i can assure you it will work great with a true duals

As i said, we are still designing/working the bugs out, but its going to be an extremely strong setup. It will tie in with the subframe connectors and incorporate a drive shaft safely loop.

I will keep you all posted and be sure to post up pictures once we have it complete.

I'm building all my own stuff so I won't have these issues....Tq arm, SFC's, and STB will be fabbed up next. I think I'm going to incorporate the DS loop with the SFC's in place of the factory tunnel brace. I'll get pics up when done. Feel free to steal my design.

Here is my setup except 3inch will it work with this, i would just like a TQ arm that doesnt use the transmission for the front attach point. I dont think i have room to use the tunnel brace either as a front mount point and exhaust will get in the way of tieing into the subframes as well. So keep us posted on what you come up with.
