Default Putting Flowmaster Duals on my 97

I've been looking into putting a flowmaster dual exhaust system on my truck. Its a 97 with the 4x4 offroad package and according to summitracing.com, because of the bigger tires on the 4x4 package, the dual exhaust kit wouldn't fit. Does anybody have any suggestions? Or does anybody have a 97 F150 with the 4x4 offroad package and has put duals on it? I would prefer flowmasters but I'm open to other ideas. Thanks

Have a shop do a custom exhaust. They can make it fit.

Buy the muffler(s) you want and go down and they can bend the pipes to fit. It's usually cheaper that way.

Installed the Magnaflow dual a couple of months back. Ended up having issues with the spare tire of all things. Other than that, it fit like a glove, and I have a 98 F150 Flareside 4x4 Offroad. I ended up just taking the spare and throwing it in the bed. Easier to get it that way anyway.

ehhhh im gonna go with AZFX4, i think u should get the parts and have someone do it for you because as much as it would rock to do it urself, the moment u dont have a spare tire... the moment u get a flat...

yeah a shop would be the best they have all the tools they need there and i know when i had pipes put on my truck mine didnt cost but 180$ i had true dual strait pipes with 2.5 inch piping and 3.5 inch chrome tips so it would prolly save money to have a shop do it by someone that does exhaust everyday
