Re: driveshaft loop question
If you run a larger driveshaft this one won't fit them. It wouldn't clear my 3.5" shaft during suspension travel. I bought the largest universal lake wood loop and ended up just cutting the ends off and rewelding them to match the floor pan angles.

Re: driveshaft loop question
The Lakewood loop will fit normally with an aftermarket torque arm. It's bolted through the floor so you need to remove the seats and pull the carpet up to properly attach it.
I stopped using the Lakewood loop years ago. It was easier to attach a universal loop off the transmission crossmember. I think all the newer aftermarket torque arms use this feature. My old Spohn torque arm didn't.

You've probably already ordered, but I have the Jegster loop on both of my Camaros with 3" DOM shafts. Fits fine.
