header clearance

I have a 1977 lwb that will be lowered 3-4. I am thinking about putting on some hedman long tubes with jet-hot coating on them. Should I have any clearance problems? What do you think about jet-hot? I have heard some good stuff about them. Is there coating any better that any other ceramic coating?

Re: header clearance

Those look great. So does your truck. Are they full length? How low is your truck?

Re: header clearance

Automatic or standard shift? Lots of folks have trouble with the clutch linkage on certain headers. Not sure about jet hot, I have the hedmen elite's that have some sort of coating similar to that and look great. Reasonable price too.

Re: header clearance

Sweet... I have 2 in drop spindles and 1 in coils up front. Shackles and hangers in the rear. I may cut the coils to get another inch up front and remove a leaf and the overload to try to get to 4/5. Thanks for the pics.
