Default Where to buy a Driveshaft/Drivesahft Safety loop?

Hey all
I was wondering where the best place is to buy a drivershaft Is ?
I need somthing that will handle my Horspower levels with a supercharger
Do i need to replace the yoke aswell?
Also How do i measure this or will they know what size we need?
I'm also in need of a Driveshaft Loop
Bought one of the universal kits and it turns out to be too small for my driveshaft diameter?
Any ideas on this one ?

You would be better off making your own driveshaft safety loop, and welding it between the frame halfs. I was just pointed to

http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/

where I ordered my aluminum one. Unfortunately since our driveshafts are over 60", no one will make a superduty one, since they cannot handle the high rpms. This makes aluminum the only one available. Two other guys here on the site have the same driveshaft, and they seem to be pretty strong, take supercharging no problem, it's just that I would have liked a lifetime warrenty like they offer on the steel shafts. A lot of money, but also cheaper than anyone elses price for what you get. The pinion yoke has the strength of a splicer 1330, and the new slider yoke they use will be of equivilant strength. If you want to beef it up even more, than they will upgrade you to 1350 yokes front and back, but it will cost $100 more for the completed driveshaft and new pinion yoke. It is not necessary for this, since both the yokes will be stronger than the driveshaft, and with a lightweight standard cab sport side, it will handle it with no problems.
