Default Opinions/Recommendations for a Drive Shaft Safety Loop....

Who is using what? I know the job a drive shaft loop is pretty straight forward, but how was the installation? Any problems with certain brands with clearance? Are the ones that bolt around the drive shaft instead of slip on just as good? etc etc

Thanks,

Lee

Lee, SLP has a good heavy duty loop, the loop is quite easy too install. When installing the loop it's easier too remove the u-joint bolts (rear) if the wheels are off the ground (jack stands) and the tranny is in neutral, just rotate the wheels to get to the four bolts. If I can be of any help let me know, good luck with the mod.

Hands down! The new Lakewood #18022 Loop fits like a glove! Fits in existing bolt holes.. no drilling.

Moving to drivetrain.
