Your truck also is bagged in the rear with trailing arms right??

Local metal recycling yard. They sell it by the pound. I'm also using 4.5" OD but 3/16" wall. Yes mine is bagged on trailing arms.

Heading out to work on that right now! It's going over the tranny member, through the TA member, up/in over the TA's. The mufflers will be between the tranny and TA members (they just fit with the tranny member in the second-to-last position). I'll post pics in the Tahoe thread tonight.
