been lookin into gettin new headers and found the only ones really available are jba and bbk shortys. however it says on thier sites that they are only made for the 2wd trucks and i was wonderin why? i thought that dealing with shortys the differance in 2wd and 4wd didnt matter. i thought the only time that mattered was when dealing with long tubes. would it honestly hurt if i put the shorty headers on my 4wd?

when i was looking into headers i thought either jba or bbk had a shorty for 4wd...i wish i knew which one..i dont remember because i went with the american racing headers..to me the performance was worth the cost..but if you are just looking for sound go shorty and save urself the extra grand lol

Jba will fit the 4wd's as far as I know. Bbk for sure only makes em for 2wd which is bs IMO. Waited on the bbk's for a month before I found out.

JBA's will work with both, BBK's only 2wd. There's a tab or bracket on the 4wd's that get in the way of the BBK's. The front suspensions on the 4wd's is different.
