Well, I'm happier now, went to JBA last Mon & Tues, left the truck there
while they tweaked the header configuration, I guess I'm a severe duty
trucker. I load up with camping gear, and head for the hills, leaveing
Los Angeles, I head north, after about 80 warm-up miles, I reach the
Grapevine (20 miles of 7-14 % gradeup, then down the other side at
15%) By now, they figure that I have those stainless pipes glowing
dull red. Problem is, they are kind of close to the A arm bushings.
  Then when I hit the dirt roads (actual county road!) north of Ukiah,
only another 400 miles or so, my stock suspension was bounceing the
A-arm
off the pipes, so they came up with a refined conifg for me, and
I had them throw a Y pipe on, those weren't out yet when the work was
first done.
 Anyway, they treated me quite well, and even shuttled me to and from
the hotel.
