Wanting to stay with long tubes if I can but looking for headers that won't rub. I have 2.5" drop spindles and a 2" drop spring.

Maybe some Doug Thorleys looked nice but don't know anyone using them. Don't want to order new headers and they rub just as bad.

Thanks for reading and can get some pics up tomorrow if needed.

Like your truck, I lowered the front with 2.5 in drop spindles and 2" drop springs. Sanderson makes a set of long tube headers that actually fit our trucks! BB4 Blockhuggers. They stay ABOVE the bottom of the frame rails once they get past the wheel arch. A small (3/8 in deep) half moon in the upper flange of the frame on the passenger side was required to clear the #2 tube but that was very minor.
