Thanks for looking, fellas.

Most every project I build I like to run the exhaust up to the axle, then use turn downs turned out at a 45, if that makes sense. Saves having to dodge the axle. Just in case, I do make sure I have room; here's 2-1/2" U-bends with no clearance issues at all.

As for ride height, it's at "ride height" now; lowest point of the chassis will be around 9" from the ground, running boards about 5", level.

More later -

Dan
