...i'll be narrowing the frame, axle, replacing/relocating the fuel cell, tubing the bed out, re-running the exhaust, and ditching the leaf spring set up for a 4-link coil-over.

Are you going to put the fuel cell behind the axle, where the spare normally is? If so, you should run the exhaust down both sides and exit in front of each rear wheel.

thatd be awesome with the exhuast , with no tips just the raw piping sticking at like a 145 angle with the side of the truck . also the fuel cell would help with traction , not that it should be a problem haha
