I've been driving my truck in my ranch this week, and the frames been hitting everything out here, so that ypipe has to tuck up above the rails.

Moddoo, do you know how much clearance you have between your ypipe and transmission? That would let me know how much I can have that ypipe raised. Thanks in advance.

I'll get a good pic & measurement tonight, but there isn't a lot of room to get it much higher. They actually did a nice job of sneaking that 3" pipe through the limited space available.
You could ovalize the pipe, or run a 2 1/2" Y pipe, or run it straight back on the drivers side and then Y it together after the transfer case.
There are a few guys that have gone back behind the trans.

laynlo,

thanks, I might want to take a look at your setup. Did you get your truck tuned here in Fresno?

Moddoo,

thanks a bunch, depending on how much that ypipe needs to go up, if its not much I might just flatten it.
