Default going to be a fun weekend

Well its going to be a fun weekend for me, i got my Flowmaster American thunder dual exit exhaust kit to install, with my flowtech shorty headers, and putting Gabriel load carrier shocks on the front end. Those arent cheap when you have dual shocks. Should lift the front end about 1.5 inches.

Here is the flowmaster american thunder exhaust system. It is 3 inch in and 2.5 inch out. I can go out the side at an angle or go straight out the back. It all runs through a 50 series muffler. Still waiting on my crossover pipe to get here. Will take a pic of the headers and springs tomorow. Had to change the power steering pump out tonight.

I too have to replace my headers and my exhaust ASAP. I am interested in seeing this setup, and possibly a sound clip when youre done.. Think you could upload one whenever u finish and find some time?

Nice setup

I will try my best to get a sound clip of it. The exhaust system was around $407 i believe. Ordered it from autozone. Here is the link for the exhaust system http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...7_534020_12406_
The link for the headers http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...34_512221_6820_
The link for the shocks i ordered and should get today http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...7458_7413_2149

Well i got the shocks today opened the box got one of the old ones off and found out that the new shocks are shorter than what i need. I do have coil spring spacers so that was prolly the problem. The shocks that are on the truck now are the originol motorcraft shocks from 88. Cant find a y pipe for my application so everything is put on hold until i find the correct y pipe to install my exhaust.

Well i found the right shocks i needed. Couldn't use the load assist. Still waiting on my y pipe to put the headers and exhaust on. I did get my sidemarker lights installed today. Tell me what you think of them.
