Not sure how much the rise helps, but I installed a set of Flowtech headers (Had them installed with help of friends).
The tubes all clear, and nothing had to be dinged. The headers will still a pita to get in there. If doing it again, I would install the headers in the truck, then drop in the motor.
Arent Bigblocks 2 and 4wd specific when it comes to headers?

my flow techs that listed for 2x and 4x4 did not fit on the 2x truck on driver side,beat 50% of #1 tube almost flat and still did not fit flowtech = junk
the passide will have the tubes moved over for the front drive shaft to move up and down with chassis/driveline flex.
I would go with hedmans that are BB 2x spicific,IMHO

yes a standerd long tail shaft 727 fits center of trans mount bolts should be 7" from rear of trans case. most short shafts have this same 7" distance and will work with the slip/spline drive shaft. the BB 727 i have in my truck was from a 1 1/4 ton MH cassis,the center of mount bolts was 5"..I had to move my xmember foward 2" and build it from square stock and the lower support braces of the stock cross member. it also used a early flat thin rubber trans mount like a 71 truck,the spedo was behind the mount and not in front so a stock xmember no worky. that would be the only thing to watch for hunting,as long as the spaceing is 7" it bolts in. glad you got the e-brake peice,i had no luck in the JY today for anything,nice walk in nice weather though this 727 shorty was the first oddball one I have seen with the mount,speedo,huge 4 5/8 u-joint...the yoke did swap out to a 7260 though.
