I have a Yank relocating crossmember and the
mount is straight vertical, in the plane of the
TA arc and the crossmember bucks the load
with a stiff cross section.

I guess i should have put in the "why" behind this. Basically i'm am completely dissatisfied with every torque arm option out there. The only thing that is smooth and quiet enough to satisfy me is a tailshaft mounted torque arm. BUT i don't want it to break. I'd rather break this bracket or a trans mount than the tailshaft housing. Not that i'm running enough power or traction to worry about breaking anything, more of a peace of mind thing "if by some chance i should happen to hook and gain 200 ft lbs of torque... at least i wont break the tailshaft." BTW... i've posted a few of these little imaginitive sketches of mine, none of them make it to reality, i think of them as mental exercises. Thanks for everyone's input!

Hi does the Yank crossmember raise the front mount up higher. I need to create some clearance over my Y pipe so I can fit a Spohn torque arm. Raising the front poly bushing up an inch should give me enough clearance.
Thanks JA.
