I usually build my own, but I think this time around Im just going to buy a prefit, no B.S. behind the tire system. (less I find a dually rear with 4.10's and a dually flatbed......)
5" from the DP back though, no 4 inchers.

Not to my knowledge. Get your band saw and mig ready. I built mine for under $40 . Less gas and electric to operate saws and welder of course.

unixcowboy

Mine cost a couple of dollars more....
I used band clamps so I could pull it apart if I wanted.
Most expensive items - 2 45* elbows...Didn't want the restriction a 90* would create

I'm building mine from the 4" dp back as soon as I get the funds.

Second gen kits fit, just have to make hangers.

On a 4wd once you get by the t-case it fits nicely.

On a 2wd it should be a breeze.

Oh man it feels good so far, I cant wait to get my hands on the darn thing now! I gotta go get it yet, n now its going to be a little longer of a wait cause a friend of mine just informed me Smoke Over Peru (SOP) is Oct. 4th, n I gotta go to Grand Rapids to get the truck. So im planning on making it to SOP this year. I will get ya'll some pictures when I get er home. Sorry guys, no stacks on this one..................... YET (till I get a dually rear n flatbed)

Sweet info guys, I'll look for a kit for a 2nd gen then. The T-case was my biggest issue, I helped Greg (G1625S) build his when we stuffed my stacks on his truck, n the T-case was tight.

Here is the thread about the 2nd gen setup.

With the top brace or support on the passenger side of the transmission crossmember removed you can easily route 5" exhaust tubing past the t-case. I have 5" turbo back to a turnout in front of the rear end.

Good info, thanks Bill and Capt.!

Is it possible to weasel 5" pipe by the T-case? Who can bend it?

CaptainChrysler

Flex pipe fits.

I wish I could even consider going to an exhaust shop that could mandrel bend 5".

That stuff don't exist 'round these parts.

Kinda like the stores you guys talk about that have all the push-lok fittings and hose for the big fuel supplys, tranny coolers, etc.

Ok, I'll quit whinning now.

unixcowboy

Well, since you quit can I whine a little ?

For a state capital and a city of almost 300K this place has nearly nothing, also.
In what's supposed to be the motor capital of the U.S. !!!

CaptainChrysler

You are talking Detroit, right?
Have you ever heard of Ritter Technology?
I was there last week, and they have lots of Parker stuff. I am not sure on the metric fittins', but they had any standard JIC ends you could want and the hose to fit.
Unfortunatley I had to pay a months worth of bills right before I left home, so all I could do was look.

5" 45*'s on their way, I'm going to build one around the t-case. Flex-pipe is not an option for me. I don't believe in it.
