The chasis moun units do have less ground clearance and are a tight fit with large exhaust, and can't be used with if you go duel exhaust.
Many of the vendors offer built in DS loops. Spohn also offers a torque arm with both front and back DS loops. But be careful if you happen to run a lingenfelter DS (3.5"). I did and the back DS loop cut into it badly!
I'm using an older sytle Spohn that was modified to clear my 4" exhaust. The one down side of the Spohn that most people don't like is that it hits hard even with normal driving ( well that is what it is designed to do ). It can also make the car shake pretty hard when you first start backing up. Allot more so if you have a manual trans.

Woah that is a lot of info, got some questions tho...
UMI sells a trans crossbrase to replace the one i have so that i can mount their TRQ arm to and take it off the tailshaft, Is that still considered "chasis mount"? Will that piece clear LT's?
The shorter ones mount where the tunnel brace is. Is that the one i should go with?
When you say it wont clear dual exhaust do you mean tru-dual that the Basanni system or even the cat-back system? I ask b/c i have a Magnaflow catback system.
how much ground clearance do you lose? I'm thinkin of lowering my car (about 1") and adding Kooks LT's.
what will give me the least amount of issues.
o and btw, i never ever thought that a broken drive shaft could cause that kind of damage.
