Which headers are you installing? Are you 2wd or 4wd?

This is a pretty straight forward install though. If you can take the stock manifolds off, then you shouldnt have any trouble putting the new ones on.

I wouldn't waste your money on shorties. Spend it elsewhere or get long tubes.

I wish people would stop just automatically saying this. The people that say this have obviously never looked a set of stock manifolds, Ram must have spent $5 designing them, anything is an upgrade over stock manifolds.

I installed a set of shorties on my truck and it made a noticeable difference in the performance.

Actually, Having to dent the pipe for the steering shaft to clear is **** ! And Im not the only one that had that problem, :puke:

Never read anywhere ARH having that issue.

So I stand by my first comment JBA's are ****. And I regret not waiting a few more paychecks and savings for ARH.

Best advice I have is to pull the front plastic wheel well liners out. That's how I installed long tubes on old Chevy and it made it a lot easier

This is a no-brainer, must do. It will save you a lot of busted hands and time. It takes 5 minutes to do, do it.

On my LS powered truck everything was easy enough to access from the top. On the Hemithe best advice I ever got was to remove the plastic wheel wells.
