Tim, a few things to consider.............I personally think including a rear loop is important because of the proximity of the plastic gas tank. I did mine on a 2 post lift, and to get the loop to clear the shaft while on the lift, it really hangs down low. Not to the point of being too close to the pavement, but close. If you do the install on a drive on lift, everything will be tucked up nicely, but......you can't put your truck on a 2 post lift without the shaft making contact with the hanging loop, because the wheels hang free, and hang a lot lower. Just a few things to consider. Let me know if you need any help, I'm back home, now.

Let me know what/when, and maybe I can help. I got a TON of extras/leftovers from when I did mine.
