Exactly what the title says. What kind of driveshaft safety loop are you running?

I used a piece of 1/4" thick steel pipe I think 6" in diameter for my front driveshaft loop. anything bigger or thicker would not have cleared the oil pan or frame. the two rear driveshaft loops I bent up out of 1 1/4" x .120 wall tubing. the forward of the rear loops is mounted to the frame. the rear most loop is mounted to the carrier bearing drop bracket. the front loop is mounted to the front differential.
