I would prefer to run a stock tank for daily use Will Caltracs work with this ? see following pics thanks, Tex 8284297-photo(5).JPG (134 downloads) Last edited by tex013; 09/29/14 12:55 AM.

I know my tailpipes are right up at my frame rail and of course my springs are out away from the frame rails as they are in stock location. I will go out in the garage and try to get a pic for you tomorrow and a good look at it. Ron

My car is all stock as the springs are in stock location and the wheelwells are all stock. Everything is in stock location and these are TTI 3" tailpipes. I will try to get the other pics working when I can. Sorry for the delay but I have had alot of knee and back trouble the last week or so. You can just see the framerail on the drivers side near the end of the tailpipe as the tailpipe actually is a tad lower then the framerail. Ron Last edited by 383man; 10/10/14 06:41 PM.

But they kind of drop a tad to be sorta alongside and below the frame rail and you can sorta see it some in this pic. Because at the very back the pipe kinda comes up a tad and then has the turndowns like the stock pipes were. Ron

Course factory tailpipes are smaller so they may not have looked like they run as low as these do. You can imagine for yourself how tight it will be with the leaf springs moved in to be on the frame rail ? Ron Last edited by 383man; 10/11/14 12:05 AM.
