I have 4.11 with my 31's and I don't like it. Should have just went to 3.55.
If you lived here, I would trade you.

okay, i dont particularily like the thought or look of stacks, especially on a gasser. but the functionality of them on bandit far outweighs the negative looks and loss of box space and poserish style being its not a diesel. but have a look anyway.





havent installed yet... gotta get the y pipe and what not built first. and theres no way ill leave them that tall... im thinking maybe a few inches above the cab at most...

opinions?

I personally dont mind stacks but on a gasser its just wrong unless its a straight mud runner ha. but they dont look as bad as i expected. but yea just a couple inches above the cab would look a lot better.

Are you gonna leave them mitre cuts or cut them to some other cut? and are you going to angle the mitre to the outside? I saw a obs stroker last year at the diesel extravaganza that had mites facin the driver and passenger side of the truck. different and it looked pretty cool
