    This is only a problem if you get full droop, but as you can see, with a wheel off the ground the exhaust would be getting torn right off the truck..

    If you don’t have place you can check it when out wheeling, jack up one side of your truck by the frame, allowing the wheel and axle to drop. This way you will know for sure

    TC long travel. Deaver 420 SU leaf packs.
    I had this crazy idea that I'd sell the pipes so I bought dumped tails from Keith.

    I doubt that the stock springs will hit the regular pro exhaust but i don’t know. I didn’t check beforehand.

    How do you like your icon springs? I’m thinking of going with modified Deavers. I’m curious to know the specifications on the springs you have. Thanks

    I’ve also got the Decked Drawers. Plus a cap and 46g fuel tank. The constant static load definitely requires the upgrade!

    Probably don't want the exhaust aiming at your leaf springs. The heat will melt your leaf spacers, looks like they're already starting to melt.

    I’m sure it’s only aiming at it when he is in full articulation. Otherwise it’s directed below it at normal ride height. It might just look melted from the moisture out of his exhaust.
