Default long tube headers

Does anyone know how low a set of long tube headers stick out from the bottom of the truck I'm plaining on putting some on my 5.3 but I lowered my truck 4/6 and ii bottom out my truck a lot don't want the headers to hit and maybe break a bolt off in the block

I'd imagine the more expensive headers are OK as well, but the $300 Ebay specials won't hit the ground unless the framerails do.

These are the pics I have from the bottom side, not exactly a side view from the frame, but you can clearly see that they tuck up higher than the bottom of the frame by a couple of inches.

Here's a pic of the Ebay versions...actually you can't see the headers at all, just the Y pipe, but it's still higher than even the lowest point of the tranny crossmember.
