Default Is it possible to add a Drive Shaft Loop?

Would I be able to add a drive shaft loop to my current setup: adjustable torque arm with the torque arm re-location kit? I hope I don't have to buy a new torque arm just to add a loop.

If it is a full length torque arm, then yes.

The biggest issue with adding a safety loop is usually going to be your exhaust however.

You should have no problem as long as you are running a stock style exhaust, if you are running true duals you would need to build the exhaust around the driveshaft loop. By stock style exhasut I mean manifolds/long tube headers and y-pipe set up.

Ok, I was under the impression that if you had an adjustable torque arm with the tunnel mount relocation kit, then trying to add a drive shaft loop wouldn't work. So, all I would need to make this work is just buy a drive shaft loop and it will bolt up to my existing relocation kit? Thanks for the responses; just trying to make sure I'm understanding this right.

As long as you have a stock style exhaust (Long Tubes into a Y pipe) then yes most style DS loops will work. Your biggest concern is going to be the mount and whether it will be deep enough for your I pipe. Most will handle up to 3" pipes no problem, some will even take a 4" pipe.

If like me you have TSP duals then you need to search for a specific type of loop.
