Driveline loop

[1TRIKHD]

So it looks like I'll need to get some driveline loops before running at the track with slicks. I have a one piece rear driveline. Do I need one at each end of the front and rear drivelines? I seen some guys get a universal kit from summit and do some minor modifications to them to make them work. Not looking to spend a lot of money on this, but want something that will do the job and have it be a quality piece. Any threads out there that will give the info I need? Maybe some info from guys that have already did this to their truck's.
Thanks

Run a loop on both ends even though it only requires 1.

Do you need shields too? I ran the loop off of my rear shield then also hung it from above too

Mine is about 6" back from the yoke on the front of the driveshaft.

That literally goes frame rail to frame rail, with a U welded in. Nothing fancy and it's legal.

How far from the driveline is the welded in U? Is there a specific distance away that it needs to be? What size tubing did you use?

Thanks again for the help.

I believe the rule is within 6" of u-joint center line or something like that.
