If adding a BL what needs to be done to exhaust?

Curious on what needs to be done or redone to my exhaust setup if I add a BL later on. I"m assuming a suspension lift doesn't affect it, however how about a BL? Minor revisions or doing the system all over again?

Thanks

First... What is on there now? A stock exhaust will work just fine, but a good higher performance system will help make more hp.

the exhaust will be the same. since its bolted and welded to the frame, lifting the body isnt going to affect it. a BL is only going to need steering adjustment from what i remember. my opinion, level the front and add a leaf in the rear and forget the BL. add your truck description in your profile so we know what year an model truck you own.

Sorry all.

It's an '03 SuperCrew FX4. Currently I have a Maggie 14" (SI/SO). I'm about to take it in to do a dual magnapack (2.25"). I may add a BL down in the future (not sure). I was curious if the bodylift affected the setup in any way.

Thanks

The only thing will be the tailpipes will hang down a little low. You may end up having the upper bends chopped 2"s and re-installed so they dont hang down.

If plans are for a blower, then go with dual 2.5".
