Default 3" true duals + aftermarket torque arm?

I just recently put the TSP true duals kit on my car. the duals as well as the stall and headers that i did at the same time are the only big things i have done to the car.
With that said its time for me to build up my suspension. I plan on getting some boxed LCA's, LCA relocation brackets, PHR, subframe connectors, and a Torqe arm. Is there a beefy aftermarket TA that will fit with the duals? i called TSP today and brian was unsure he said that they hadnt tried to put duals on anything with a diff TA. I was wondering if any of you guys or gals have the TSP kit with an other than stock torque arm.

also what would be better for a street strip car boxed or tubeular LCA's?, adjustible or not?

forgive me im a suspension

I'm using an LG TA with my 3" duals. Of course my system is custom built, but the LG fits within the envelope of the stock TA so I don't see why you wouldn't have as much if not more clearance with it vs. stock.

I have custom 3 inch true duals and I'm using the BMR non adjustable torque arm. It is VERY close to the muffler and was an extremely tight fit getting it in. Also I had to drop the driveshaft to get it in.

Does anybody have the abj. Spohn TA kit that the company says will work with long tube headers. Also, those of you who are using this TA, are you running long tubes, cats/cat drop-outs, x-pipe, bullet mufflers all in the 3” configuration and while also running the LG sub-frame connectors plus V-braces? Any pictures of this setup or close to it would be great.

Sorry to leach off of this posting to get info for my own selfish needs. Maybe it will help you in your quest for the right configuration for your ride too. I am planning to do the above setup for my 2000 Z28, but I am not sure if one upgrade will negatively affect one of the others. Hopefully the combination of ALL of these components will work together.

Again, I hope you all out there don’t see this as a hijacking of this posting, so I will apologize ahead of time.

Let me know if I offended anyone.

Thanks

It is an h pipe, in the first pic you can barely see it. It isn't even lowered. It doesn't scrape unless someone is in the back seat.
