The # 2 primary is rubbing against drivers side steering shaft. I pulled off shaft and dented header. It was ok for about 3 months and is beginning to rub again. Does anyone have similar issues with longtubes for these trucks? Not to mention, the install was tough! Took about 12 hours. I have a 2014 Ram 1500 5.7 6 speed. Thanks in advance for any input or suggestions.

i had to put a pretty good dent in mine but i took mine off to do it. you might want to check for a loose shaft or even motor mount or maybe even the steering assembly itself.

Many guys have had that trouble with OBX, and a few have had that issue with JBA as well. The ARH longtubes go in easy and do not require any modification to clear.

I am afraid that I am going to have to dent them even more, Praying that it fixes it this time.
