Yes, the hump is required. It would not be that big a deal to do it IMO. Just pull the carpet, cut out the low hump, bolt in the high-hump, and reinstall new carpet.

ya think i can get away with the same carpet or am i not going to get enough pull out of it?

No. The carpet is different for the large hump.

As mentioned, the "large hump" is a necessity. New carpet will most likely need to be installed.

New carpet is a small price to pay for having a dropmember. As soon as Nate starts giving away free samples, I'll have one!

hey nate, i was wondering if you have to notch the cab in the rear with the drop member in a long 72 with a two piece drive line.

You should not have to tunnel into the cab floor with a 2 piece drive-shaft.
