Thinking about some lt's for my sons 2013 sierra. 5.3 Z71 w/ 6" bds lift (6l80)
I like the price of the texas speed and speed engineering lt's w/ Y pipe
Any of you guys w/ lifted trucks running these? Any fitment issues? Running it to stock connector.
This would be a driveway project and I don't own a welder, much less know how to weld, so I don't need something I need to cut or beat the crap out of to get to fit.
Yes, I did search, and been reading a lot of other forums, but can't find a definite answer on the lifted trucks with either of these brands.
Don't really want to spend $1500 on the ARH, they are nice, but I'm not footing that bill.
thanks

The lift shouldn't change anything about the headers or the where the y-pipe lines up with the rest of the exhaust. If the stock exhaust fits now, so will the headers.

That would be the logical thinking...
I've read a couple of posts on other forums say the contrary, I know it sounds crazy. It does to me too.
That's why I am asking...for the peeps that have lifted trucks and these headers. thx

It would make a big difference if the vehicle had torsion bars because that hangs down lower with a lift kit.

Strut suspension will not have this issue unless there is some bracket or the front driveshaft hangs way down. Stick your face under the truck, see how close things are. Do measurements.

Found this from another thread.

IDK what the BDS kit is like, does it lower the front dif?

I'm pretty sure the drop bracket lowers the front diff...not sure by how much.
