Jegs doesn't make them for our trucks though. Is your headers fenderwell or chassis? I would go with fender well since you also use your headers to tune low end torque. That way you have all the room you need to extend them.

my headers are chassis, and free but required a bit of a massage with the tapometer to clear the proportioning valve
