Ugh, I don't know why it wouldn't fit, tons of people have them installed.
I'll have to try to find the time to call Gibson's hotline.
I guess I should hold off, I need to install the addco rear swaybar I
bought for it anyhow before I install the exhaust. My Dad finally got the
bugs worked out of his 2 post lift so I can get 'er in the air now to
install it and replace the front swaybar bushings that are squeaking and
groaning like mad.
Of course I think the cat is shot too, and with gas spiking 26 cents in one
night recently I could use the extra fuel economy too. :p
