Default what torque arm for true duels?

Hello all,
I wanted to ask the true duel guys and gal what arm works best for them? Fit with clearance and any issues or if and vendors know if they have a good setup for duels.
Thanks

Most shouldnt be an issue as far as im aware because only Kooks and one other company (cant remember the name) make them to go over the rear axle the rest usually dump before the axle. Ill be installing Kooks true duals today if it shows up Im running a UMI torque arm reclocated to the trans crossmember Ill post if there are an issues.

If you already have the true duals you are going to want to stay away from the shorter style torque arm because you will more than likely run into clearance issues between the exhasut and the torque arm. What I would recommend would be a full length adjustable torque arm (TA001) and a torque arm relocation crossmember, this is pretty much the ideal setup to give you the most clearance possible. Here are a couple pictures.

Im going to be running a 4l80e so the relocation bracket for an 80 and a full arm is best for duels.
