Competition building driveshaft loops for pulling

[JoshPeters]

When you guys build and install drive shaft loops, how do you make them articulate with the driveline. My truck is a daily driver, but due to wanting to pull I plan on installing loops. Initially I was just going to put one at the rear/front of each driveshaft at the differential. After watching a Mod (gasser) truck last night break one at the carrier, I'd like to build something that will take a bit more worry out of it. One truck I saw had the loop at the rear differential tied into the ladder bars?! Any advice before I go nuts with some pipe, a welder and some steel?

Csuttons and Rob Thomas's are nicest I have seen for street use.



They are pretty different from each other, also.

Hey thanks guys. Now I see how they set it up to move with the axle. Last night I think most of the suspensions were so fixed that articulation was not a concern.
