Longtube header clearance issue.

Just put some longtube headers on my F150 that's 4X4. The problem is that my truck has 11 inches of lift and the drivers side header is very close to the front driveshaft. It's not touching it but I feel if I went offroading it would hit it. Also wondering how I'm gonna get exhaust ran off of it. Any help is appreciated.

iv had the same problem of how am i going to run exhuast off the long tubes...from what most have told me is to drop the front tank and run off the rear tank..that its going to be in the way of the exhuast. unless its just dumped right under the cab but that will be very loud. im just goin to drop my front tank run off the rear and run the exhuast to the rear axle and dump it for now.

i heated up the tubes and bent mine to clear. as for the exhaust off of the headers, i fabbed up a y-pipe to sneak past the passenger side t-case above the crossmember to keep 'er out the way. 2.5" long tube collectors and y pipe into 3" bullet muffler under cab, sounds great wouldnt have it any other way.
