Which headers?

Hey guys, im looking to buy a set of Hooker Comp. headers for my lowered square, however, i have very little wiggle room for clearance issues on the bottom side, and id like to still run a full length long tube header, so my question is, which set of headers do i need to sit level with the frame and not cause a major issue with the trans crossmember. Heres what ive been told will work, however the primary tube length on these is 3" longer than the 2WD truck headers, but maybe their not as tall? The car headers also have a 3" collecter vs the trucks 2.5" collector.

Heres the same in a truck header

Any other suggestions that fit better on a lowered truck is VERY appreciated. Truck is mere inches from the ground!

Re: Which headers?

My car headers and truck headers all seem to be even with the transmission pan. Sometimes I wonder how much difference there really is in Chevy v8 headers. I have never seen any that hang below the trans.
