In that picture the weight looks like it is on the jack stands, if you were to lift from the frame it looks like it would make contact. Likely wouldn't take much of a bump in the road and you's hear the clunk.....

well, if you want to be right just go ahead ! was thinking one thing and typing another. when it was fabbed up the hoist was under the frame rails so the suspension hung at it's lowest point and we had almost two inches of gap... so when the axle was holding the weight of the truck the gap increased... did I say that right ??

the last pic I posted is up on jackstands under the axle... when we did the plumbing it was on a 2 post lift with the arms under the frame so the axle was hanging during install

Seems to me like that should be called rumblemore!

Since the jack stands have been a hot topic:
1. I like them, it would be nice to be able to extend my arms when working under the truck
2. You must have one heck of a jack to get that thing up on them.

Well done on that exhaust, it looks cool and should flow really well.

The bends in the pipes look pretty close to the center section in the picture on jack stands, only reason I brought it up ...
