Default Fuel rails

I'm putting a TBSS intake on a 1999 silverado and the fuel rails are different. Any suggestions on what rails might work or what modifications could be made?
Thanks

You can just take and replace your cross over tube, with a braided one. You will have to do a little fabbing after you cut the old one off to get the new one fitted, sealed up, but then your good to go.. I am not sure if the height that the rails mount on the TBSS intake is the same as out intakes, so some work might be needed.. Or you can do like I did. go with aftermarket rails-fpr-lines...

U have to.make spacers for the factory rails to work and the bolt hole on the fuel rail has to.be drilled over a little bit so.it will line up. Or go with aftermarket I just did that to mine still had to.fab up brackets to hold it down cuz they don't make a exact on for the tbss only pics I have r on my phone ill try and send them.to my email to put the up on here

Here is a thread I posted. I still do not have it on the truck, but all is finished on the intake, along with the braided cross over in the front.. Some guys say not to run the fpr this way. I have seen it done over and over with out any issue.. It is set up so that the factory lines connect to it for feed, return.. so both feed and return is going through the fpr, vs a feed to the rails, then return through the FPR( yah it sounds tricky)

The rails are from prof products, are for the ls1, actually I think I have the ls2 rails, no diff other then mounting hardware I think, I didn't use none of the brackets anyway..

Just snapped this real quick, nothing big, just the front cross over, btw I have mine set up to use the truck(shorty) injectors)

What kit are you referring to?? The rails for a return or return less are all up to the way you set them up..
