I'm using pretty much the same components that NSANE sells. He'll hook you up with all you need.

Everything's up above the engine crossmember on mine. I did some exhaust re-routing but mine's an inline 6. Not sure what issues the V-8 people have. I'm guessing that conventional headers might hang too low.

Keep in mind when considering laying and metal on the ground what you'll be using the truck for. And safty. If you even plan one time on going on the freeway or going faster than 35mph, or driving the truck on a daily basis, that you think of safty first. Bags are very reliable we all know but you must take Murphy into consideration. Anything that can happen will! So if I were you I'd set up my ride so with zero pressure and or on the bump stops nothing touches but tires! LOL give the lowest metal on the truck at least 1/2" ground clearance. And make sure at that level you can still turn! LOL

Because what happens if say you run a dead animal over and it rips of a few air lines? Screwed going 75mph! Allways think about safty, and your frame laying truck isn't nice when wrapped around a pole!

Unfortunately, these beasts won't turn lock to lock with even a 5" drop in the front

I know what you mean! LOL even with 255/50/15 up front with just a 4" drop they almost touch! So it maybe a problem for me when I put my 30" tall tires on it. Like a 275/45/20 I think? But I may modify my inner fenders and have some custom bent and rolled ones made. $$$$$$ LOL But the price you pay to keep your baby happy! Mines mad right now it's being snowed on! She tells me every day to take her to CA or Arizon! LOL
