These are the ones on my gasser truck, I got two more loops to go in the middle of the driveshaft and got 3/4 solid bar stock to weld it all together...

It's 8" well casing. You can get away with using 6" as well

True, but more is better in this case :Cheer:

You need to check the rule on org. your going to pull in Some have a max,clearance between the ujoint and sheild.

Bigger isn't better

I thought he was talking about the length of the loop :doh:

The loops typically have to be 6" tubing 6" in length on the exposed u joint. 1/4 wall for steel and 3/8 for aluminum.

Wondering what the purpose is for the spring in the front loops? they look great!

6.5" ID .250" thick

Just like in the rear the front loops have to be able to move. thats what the spring allows. This of course is if you have suspension travel

Makes sense. I guess those are set screws on the diffs as well? That's a great design, i'm asking questions cause i'm going to duplicate what you have done.
