Been debating throwing loops on for added security, since the only luck I have is bad luck. Anyhow, I weld for a living and can easily make me a set for free. Looked at the truck some and have a few ideas on mounting them. Just curious to see how others are doing them also. Any pics of loops you guys have made? Obviously ur rear loop will bolt thru the rearend webbing, are their only the 2 mounting locations? The front of the rear shaft ima make a crossmember that will span frame to frame and bolt to the frame. What about the front shaft? Haven't looked at it yet as I'm still waiting on parts to get my front diff put back in.h

I mounted mine to the web of the rear and had a cross brace under the front u-joint and put two tabs there for it to bolt thru

Not a bad idea on that, that's how I had planned to do it but I wasn't connecting the 2. Believe I will now. What about ur front shaft?

I don't have any pictures of the front but the rear joint had a cross member under it I went straight up with a loop around it and the front shaft was a little more difficult and still have yet to find the best way to cover it. (I keep changing it)

I made sure I gage enough clearance when I built mine the rear is solid to the rear end the front pivits and is slotted incase the rear moves a little bit. The front shaft hits the front loop but its because the motor mounts are junk come to find out.
