    Lowered trucks with longtubes...

    Are any of you guys running a 5" drop in the front with longtubes? Clearance issues? What brand are you running?

    Only clearance issues you will have may be the Y-pipe. The headers tuck up above the frame rails so no worries. I ran a 4/7 drop with pacesetter LT's no problem

    No problems with ground clearance on the pacesetters for me. My truck is bagged and there about a inch above the bottom of the frame rail.

    Pacesetters are what i run and a lot of guys run on here. But the Texas speed f-body headers tuck up a lot closer than the truck ones and are way easier to put on.

    I'm running Pacesetters... they're not that hard to put on, its just a certain way you have to put them through the frame.. When you do the drivers side I had to disconnect the Intermediate Shaft Steering Shaft, and when you do that make sure your steering wheel is tied down and cant turn.. I made the mistake of keeping it loose and breaking the airbag clockspring ($300 replaced), also put the y-pipe on before you put the headers on and then just connect them like that..
