Default Torque arm relocation bracket and driveshaft loop?

Please forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to run a torque arm relocation bracket (relocating the front connection on the transmission) along with a driveshaft loop? I'm sure they both can be installed, but I haven't been under the car in a very very long time and wanted to be sure the items bolted to different locations or if any certain modification of bolting needs to be done to install both.

Thanks!

With a full length torque arm you can use one of our bolt on driveshaft loops. With a tunnel mount torque arm the nose will be relocated off the transmission, as well as having a driveshaft loop.

I don't know what brands fit with each other - but I can confidently say that our bolt on driveshaft loops work with bolt on full length torque arms with relocation bracket!

I'm pretty sure I have a full length torque arm (BMR non-adjustable if I'm not mistaken - from a time before I knew about UMI). If I understand correctly, I would need a driveshaft loop as well as the torque arm relocation bracket?

Any images of both installed? I might be able to better understand from a photo. My eyes work better than my brain

Any random deals going on for these products?

If you want to do relocation your welcome to but it's not necessary to do so to use a driveshaft loop. We're at retail pricing at this time. I cant seem to find any pictures of the driveshaft loop installed with a long torque arm unfortunately.

Question

This could be the solution for ARH LTs w/cat'd y-pipe, as the UMI unit would not clear the pipes on mine (SLP Dual Dual exhaust).

Questions I have are:
1. How much rigidity do these offer in comparison with other cross braces?

2. Is there a convertible version of this which offers 4-point X-bracing like OEM? i.e.:

Our driveshaft safety loop is not a brace in the sense of the factory brace but it is a solid unit and we only offer the one mounting version.
