Since the truck engine compartments aren't near as tight as the F-body, I wonder if there would be any clearance problems with a set of Dynatechs/FLPs under the hood?

I don't think 4x4 guys could run them because of the front driveshaft being there, but us 2WD folks might be able to???

 

Neil, I dont know about your headers fitting under there (I think they would), but I just saw the weight you had listed in your sig. Did you have your truck on the scales? 5580 seems light for your truck if my excab Z71 is supposed to weigh that much. I haven't had mine on the scales, so I don't know for sure. Can having a 4x4 add that much? If so, where is all the extra weight on a 4x4?

 

Yep, I've weighed it on two seperate truck scales and they were both about the same. The gas tank was nearly empty, but everything else was intact.

My '99 reg-cab shortbed Z71 weighed ~5100, but it had a heavy Ranch Hand bumper, toolbox full of crap, & stereo stuff. I would guess that the 4x4 drivetrain weighs 300-400 pounds, but I don't know exactly.
