Headers for my Highboy

Does anone have pictures of headers on a highboy that has the third crossmember? Im thinking of ordering a set but the out fit Im ording from (Stans headers) said that they dump under the third crossmember and Im thinking that they will hang down too low and cause ground clearance problems. So if you have any Pics please let me know.
Thanks alot Leadmic

sorry I dont have a picture, BUT I do have headers on mine and they dump right below the third crossmember. just to each side of the lowest part of that xmember. they look ok, the driveline is hanging down even lower, so I would think the headers would be safe... my exaust runs back just under the framerails and out on each side in front of the rear tires. I didnt worry about it down there because the T-case hangs down way lower anyway.

Ditto. I assume he meant he has the (Stans) headers, as do I. Good choice.

i have some cheap headers made by holly, they come out under the third member, it comes close to the drive shaft with the dana 60 with a reverse rotation pinion. with the stock axle there was no problem, the passanger side is split for the motor mount, i welded mine to seal it up, i dont know if the stan's are split but they may leak if they are

Good to trial fit the headers before the ceramic coating (nothing hurts more than banging them after). I had my Stan's coated and they came out great.

Is that the only ones that would fit my truck? And what would they do for me performance wise? And are they worth the 450 bucks?
