Default Half shaft loops and aftermarket trailing arms (pics)

ON my car I have the aftermarket trailing arms, not offset. They are the "c" section type made of 1/4" stock. Last night I installed my Dragvette half shaft loops, and I can't really attach them at the top to the bumper pad because it is curved and wider than the flat and shorter stock one. Anyone else run into this problem? Solutions?

Your TA's appear to be made like my offset ones are. Dragvette makes a different safety loop to fit our applications.

Yup!!!! Call Steve because he makes a special half shaft loop for the aftermarket trailing arms.
Sorry to see that you have to take the half shafts loose again!
Just did mine and they worked good with the Van Steel arms.
