pretty easy. especially if it is lifted that high. hardest thing you have to do is weld collectors to pipes.get the drop in gaskets. start front and back bolts then drop in exhaust gasket. when you put the collectors together put 2 metal gaskets per side and use locking nuts to fasten will keep from leaking. have fun....

ps.......... dont forget to retighten header bolts every 100 - 200 hundered miles for the first 500 to insure they stay tight.

The hardest part is prob getting ontop of the engine bay to put them in. You can prob stand under the truck and put them in.

With 28" of lift, I imagine you could do about everything from under the rig. What keeps it from fliping over?

Where do you get headers for a 96 f250 460.. i've seen very few but they also ask something about Egr or smog pump stuff.. do you get the set without any of that? what do you get for that. does it have a smog pump you can take off?

As well as summit racing you can get a set from Bank Power. Yes they do make things for gas trucks to. PAW also has a lot of 460 truck stuff.
