Nope. Not really. There aren't many on here that run stacks. There are a few, but not many.
If I were in the market for some, I'd just look for them locally since I would think shipping those things would be a less than desirable option (for cost and potential damage reasons).

I am going to preface this with I don't like them and don't think any one should run them on a pick up....
That being said a quick search of the net gave multiple outlets that sell them....one being our local favorite....

Your exhaust exits right behind the cab and you have to cut a hole in your box. Those are the only downside I can think of.

Reasons to be against...
Holes in the bed
looks
reduction in usuable space in the bed
limits or eliminates ability to use tonneau covers, caps, ladder racks
not to mention potential for causing further damage when you actually use your truck...
ie when the truck actually twists
as seen here

stacks in a pickup are a personal choice, and usually not needed. unless the truck is used in a condition where it is constantly being moved, and people behind it, this is where stacks are a benefit.
i had them on my 88 for 20 years, but removed them when the truck was taken out of daily use. i do not have them on any of the other trucks, but the rack truck may get them because it has the gas welder mounted on it, and the stack will lift the exhaust out of my line when i am working

I JUST removed mine from my 97. While they do sound good, that is about all they are good for.
It was deafening on my way home from Oklahoma with them.
Also the spare tire got melted when it laid against the pipe.
Then there is the soot they throw all over the truck, really bad after a rain storm.
The loss of bed space sucks as well
And cutting a Giant hole in the bed, now leaves me something else to fix
As for the frame flex, that is why they use FLEX pipe and rubber hangers. SO that is NOT an issue
Waiting on my new exhaust to get here today from Riffraff
