Jegster Torque Arms
Has anyone used this torque arm yet? The part number on www.jegs.com is 550-40097. I have a lowered T/A and was wondering if I would have clearance problems with this or not.

I think you have way, way better choices. It's a sheetmetal mounted TA, which isn't great because sheetmetal isn't my first choice for resisting the torque loads applied through a TA, especially a short one. Notice all the nuts and bolts too and you get to drill holes for each of them and put them in (under you carpet). The cost is right around what good quality TA is.
$219 for non-adjustable: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=18&ModelID=7
$299 for adjustable: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=18&ModelID=7
If you want the mount off the tranny, you run a relocation bracket like this (this is a LS1 6-speed version): http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=18&ModelID=7
*OR*
You run a tunnel mount TA such as a variation of this: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=18&ModelID=7 Just note that there are options there, different ones for different headers, and you have the option of some with Driveshaft safety loops installed.
I prefer, as I stated in other threads, a full length version and if you want to get the mount of the tailshaft, then run a relocation bracket. I believe it's just stronger.

There are a few upsides to this torque arm that outweigh the bad IMO. This is the only tunnel mounted Torque arm that I am aware of that doesn't sacrifice ground clearance. Its also mounted *in* the trans tunnel so it doesn't affect your exhaust choice at all. I wanted to switch to true duals so that factored in for me. My old Spohn tunnel mounted torque arm hung way low and was pretty clunky. The Jegster is rock solid, not clunky at all. I don't think the short torque arms are the best setup for handling, but for drag racing and general driving I think the Jegster Arm works well.

The reason I'm asking is I'm worried about ground clearance, getting the torque arm off the tranny, and just a all out better torqur arm. If I buy the relocation cross member and then the torque arm I'm gonna have a fortune it it, but if I buy the tunnel mounted torque arm I'm not gonna have any exhaust room and I'm gonna have ground clearance issues. Does anybody have any suggestions on that?

I see these made everyday where I work, (at jegs, the jegster shop is in the back of our store), these are very high quailty units, and all the ones we have sold have recieved good feedback.

I don't really have a quality issue, more of a design issue. Kind of like preferring pony-cars overs things like Camry's and Accord's.
