Mine bolt it on the tranny mount. This is the bigger ring, I have a smaller ring for stock driveshafts.

Seems like you could make a onepiece just as strong without introducing additional weight and moving parts that could fail?

They do make 1 piece units, but have you seen how long a 1 piece driveshaft is on a crew cab truck?? I feel better with a 2 piece.

1 piece is just too long. My stock 2 piece was handling 800 hp behind my 370 nitrous motor.
