Is your truck 2wd or 4wd? You could do a setup similar to mine either way. I have duals, and the pipes come down under the frame right behind my rear spring hangers, and up along the outside of the frame and up through the bed. I have a few pics in my gallery. I didn't lose any ground clearance(I actually gained some over the stock exhaust), and you cant see the pipes crossing over from outside either. I guess the nerf bars help cover them

Does your bed flexing (off road) affect the stacks at all??

Yes.

It hasn't yet. There is a section of flex pipe on each side to accomodate flexing.

I have a turbo on my truck so i would have to run a single back then buy a piece of flex pipe and run it up into my bed then put a Ypipe on it then do out to the corners of the bed then up correct? (sinde the turbo only has a downpipe on it). I wonder if my truck would look good with stacks or not? I ave a set of mitercut stacks sitting in the garage but i dont know if they would look riht or not. I know withthe fuel cranked up it would look good pulling out. I already have dual black whip antenna's and also a dimondplate tool box. Only thing about the antenna's i mounted them into my toolbox and if i would stack the truck i would have to move them somewhere else (probably in between the stacks). I like the look but i hate cutting the bed and also hate cutting my tailpipe and everything off that is still like new. (not even rusty and its 4inch tailpipe that runs up over my rearend and out the back passengerside corner of the truck)
