Default half shaft safety loop

I bought a set from dragvette.They look pretty stout.Are they strong enough without drilling the holes in the trailing arms and using all four bolts at the top.I don't mind drilling the holes but it would prevent me from exchanging them down the road for rebuilt ones.

Why not drill them now and have yours rebuilt later instead of exchange out???

I drilled mine.

I also have a new set of Tom's weld on style that do not attach to the TAs at all if you are interested in them. $40 incl shipping to the lower 48.
