what headers for lowered truck?

I've done some searching, but I can't find anything definitive for a 4/6" drop and headers. My truck isn't lowered yet, but I need to order headers for my 406sb and I want long tubes. If the collectors will be too low then I'll just go with a mid-length set from Early Classics. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The headers from Early Classic are very nice, made by Sanderson.

Re: what headers for lowered truck?

You can run any header with a 4 6 drop and be fine with clearance.

Take a look at my build if you want some photos, but it's a non-issue unless you are going to be driving over curbs a lot.

its not really an issue of clearance persay...lots of people are looking for headers that clear the frame rails

Anthony 67, how do you like those sanderson headers? Are you pleased with the performance compared to longtubes? I know you probably lose some torque...

Sanderson headers will work, and fit great!
