1-Piece Driveshaft and BMR Loop Fitment Issues?
I'm about to pick up a 1-piece aluminum driveshaft from American Muscle, and I wanted to get the driveshaft safety loop at the same time. Looking at the two BMR safety loops, it looks like they both have potential fitment issues with a 1-piece driveshaft.
The rear loop says you must take care at full suspension droop with a 1-piece driveshaft (WTF?). The front loop says that shimming may be required when using a 1-piece driveshaft.
Anybody with either of these loops and an aluminum AM driveshaft have these issues? What is the shimming they are talking about?

The shimming in the description is referring to putting washers or shims where the loop bolts to the brace. This lowers the loop to the ground for extra drive-shaft clearance, since the one piece drive-shaft is wider and has a slightly different angle then stock.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I need to clarify anything!

I had to space down my 'Steeda' driveshaft safety loop around an inch. This gives it more clearance for when you (for example) jack one side of your Mustang up to change a rear tire, so the driveshaft doesn't touch the safety loop.
