Default need your input on 2nd gen rear driveshaft loops please

Now I hate to post up pics of an unfinished product, but I want to get some feedback before I spend any more time or money on this design if nobody likes it. It will be a bolt on loop that catches both rear driveshafts not only in one location but FOUR!!!! Front and rear of the first shaft, just behind the carrier bearing, and the front of the rear shaft. This is just a mock up that is tacked together for making a alignment jig, and there will be a few small changes like the design in the plate. Please let me know what you think... I value your opinion even if your totally wrong.....

Thanks,
Aaron/HD Fab

Well thanks for the nice comment man!!! It will look quite a bit different after the other plate and gussets are welded in and powder coated. Im going after the crowd that wants something other than a strait bar with a single loop welded to it. Call it loops with style.. LOL

BTW I do have a short bed truck on the way to the shop, and I will try to have something available next week...
