Default Torque arm with x pipe.

I have the Dr. Gas x-pipe and the x is right at the drive shaft loop.

I need a torque arm that will clear this.

Does any one have any sugestions?

I would like it relocated off of the tranny also.

The only one I can find is from Jegs. Does anyone have an opinion on this one?

It uses the exact mounting locations as the stock torque arm but the RandomTech piece is adjustable.

This piece alone eliminated wheel hop for me ( set at -2 ).

I'm running true duals with a Dr Gas X, a Lakewood DSL, and an LG TA with no clearance issues. The LG TA fits within the envelope of the stock TA, so if your stocker clears, so will the LG. It is not adjustable and picks up on the tailshaft as does the stock TA. Its an excellent TA IMO.

I don't see any drive shaft loop. Shame, shame.

And again I am really looking to relocate off the tranny.

What do you guys think about this one?

Does the LG tq arm use the stock bushing or Energy Suspension stock type tq arm bushing or does it come with a new one?

The LG TA does not utilize the stock TA bushing. Instead it uses a heim joint-style coupling that pics up the stock fastener locations (on the tailshaft). Its a much better setup than the stock bushing (or a stock replacement poly bushing) although it will trsnmit a bit more drivetrain noise to the chassis (a fact of life with the more direct connection).
