I beleive anything is possable, it would depend how much you want to modify everything else to fit it and where you run it. or so i would think

It'll work, but if you have a 4x4 it's gonna get tight inbetween the T case/mount and the frame.

Is there any advantage to 5" over 4" unless you're making a ridiculous amount of power?

I did it before the body lift. You have to remove the brace that goes from the trans crossmember to the top of the frame. It gets very tight but I did it with no rubbing.

Looking at those 5" downpipes, it seems it would not be beneficial over a 4" downpipe unless you were pushing crazy numbers. It looks cool, but don't think anybody is gaining anything from it..

Is the crossmember strong enough with removing that diagonal support. i was going to do that with my W100 but i dont know if it will be strong enough using a 1/2 ton frame with the cummins weight already hanging off the front. Thanks
