Default ds loop and slp diamond sfc?

what kind of loop are u running? im going to do lt's but the slp's connect in the center where the brace would go and then the loop would have to bolt on top of it hence movibg it down that much more. seems like that would cause driveshaft interference? anyone have some options?

I have run the Lakewood and I just spaced it up (there are "tabs" that bolt to the mounts where the SFC's attach and then the loop lays on top of that and bolts in place, I just spaced it back into position with a few washers). And, I've run the LG Motorsports version. I had to cut about 1/2" off of the ends of the LG to get it to fit between the brackets on the SLP SFC's. This is easy if you have access to a chop saw, or it can be done with a sawzall (use milwaukee "Bi Metal" bits, that is hard metal to cut), but it might take a while.

I remember a while back in a GM high tech when they were building the "grape of wrath" LT1 Z28 they ran both the subframes and loop and didnt have any problems.

jegs makes one just for the 4th gen. It fit fine with my diamond sfc and 3"X-pipe to dual bullets
