I am thinkin about puttin some 5 in stacks or so on my new 06 and i am wonderin if it would be smart to do so since i bought the truck for hauling my cattle and horses around. I really like the looks of them but wonder if i would be the safest thing to do since im haulin 5-6 times a week

Just make sure they are tall enough to get the smoke above the trailer and that you have plenty of air moving through the triler once you get rolling and all should be fine. Not sure if I would go straight up or with bull haulers; but I am thinking straight up makes more sence.

I pull a 24' Sundowner stocktrailer, I can put out a ton of smoke and when I get to the trailhead there is not soot on the saddles or anything, so I don't seem to have a problem.

Actually, stacks are way less apt to fumigate livestock, than below the truck exhaust.

It is a long forgotten law that exhaust of trucks, while towing livestock, must exit above the roofline of the trailer.

Of course, this got shot out of the water when double, and triple, deck trailers became 13'6" tall, the maximum allowable height; so, stacks can be no higher than the top of these trailers, or they would be over maximum height.

Like stated earlier, I have had twin stacks on my F-350, for many years, and haul livestock commercially, and horses, saddled, to trail-rides.

I have never noticed any ill effects, no soot, no coughing horses.

There is one redneck punk in the neighborhood, that has one single stack in the bed of his truck.

He drags along a gooseneck four-horse slant, and tries to do burn-outs at every turn.

I don't see how he gets a horse to re-load, after a ride behind him.

The whole side, and top, of his trailer looks like the inside of a steam locomotive stack.
