Default Drive shaft loop for duals? And, TA relocation

What drive shaft loops out there will fit a set of true duals? I've attached a few pictures of my current setup...reason I don't think any of the DS loops I've seen will fit is because after they mount to the floorpan, the crossbrace dips down - exactly where my true duals run.

Would the best option to be to run a UMI torque arm with an atached DS loop?

Another question related to the duals...will the UMI torque-arm relocation kit work without hitting them? I've got 3" Lane's duals, if anyone is running that setup and wants to chime in.

The Lakewood loop tends to work quite well with duals.

I've also got Lane's duals...they are basically the same style as TSP, and everyone says the Lakewood DSL will fit (I asked the same thing a couple weeks ago). Don't get the UMI TA with the DSL, as it is chassis mounted and won't work with duals. You need a full length TA. The relocation kit should work fine, but UMI said it is not needed unless you are running mid 10's or under at the strip. I've got the TA on order, I'll get the Lakewood DSL soon enough, and I'm skipping the relocation kit for now (too much money if I don't need it).

Hm...I'll go with the Lakewood unit then. I'll get the relocation member because I do plan on running mid 10s, if not better (and if I can't do that with a 402, I'll sell the car and buy a tricycle), but it's good to know that it fits.

kinda hard to tell cause for one, pics might help. I have umi piece that gets bolted to tunnel brace. I think that was just luck considering my T-duals is custom installed. dont see the pics you added? so how about pics!!!!
