Thats cool but you didnt answer my question, in your original post you said ditching the intermediate shaft would help get the exhaust out of the way and I asked how it did that?

I have a stock 1.3 manifold if you wanting one, theres also nothing saying you have to run the exhaust on the inside of the frame or to the back for that matter. Take it over the drivers framerail and dump it behind the front tire with a short race bullet muffler. You could run it over the frame and down beside the frame to the back and build some boatsides to protect it and your body.

Heres how my exhaust is ran but keep in mind this is the passenger side since I'm running a v6.

I think the idea is leave the tcase in place and move the engine back to it. Atleast that is what I would do, esp seeing the clearance issue I'm having with my front 4 link

Ok I see what he's saying now, and makes sense with his question about moving the weight bias around in the original post. Thanks

He got it before I had time to respond. Moving the engine back and mating the trans to tcase flange to flange would move everything back about a foot. That should move the header out of the way far enough to still get good geometry. I found a stock manifold on Facebook, and that seems to be what most are doing. The header is ok for leaf springs, but really in the way for links.

Post a few pics to show what I'm combating with this stupid header. You can see where the Clayton 3rd link sits outside the frame bc there's no room on the inside of it.

Long tube header isnt necessary in my opinion. Ive got one in my shop but havent bothered with it for the reason you pointed out...not sure why they were designed to hang down soooo low.

Wanna sell that header?

That's awesome. Are the low pics with no nitrogen at all or is it ride height? If so. That is crazy low. Looks mean
