What he was meaning is to protect what ever is in the bed.
I have seen a couple lunch boxes, a water cooler and a few tool boxes ruined when they slid against the stacks or cross over pipes.
Also saw a couple bales of straw smoldering after they slid up against the cross over pipe.
They get rather hot while running down the road.
Pull a big hill with a load, don't even think about touching them for a while, 7 or 8 hundred degrees will fry skin instantly.

Getting the true duals around the front fuel tank is going to take some serious bends unless you go under the frame.
That is not an option if you go off road much.
Well some of my off road is a bit more than most people do though.

The way they did the duals on my old man's 84 was to run the driver side pipe beside the passenger side pipe, both on the passenger side, and outlets before the wheel. It had pretty good clearance that way.

thats not even a bad idea d young but would take away from the appearance.. i was thinkin a 90 degree bend made of diamond plate. I had about 14 pvc tables in my bed took one decent curve and when i got to where i was going the table was melted to my stack

kind of depends on what you are hauling but if you fabbed up a bracket system that let you put crossmembers across the bed about three to six inches in front of the pipes it would keep the "load" from being destroyed. Then when done hauling you could just take the crossmembers off and store them under the seat or in the bed etc etc.
