No interferences bolts right up.
here is a link for several customers that have installed the product.
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

yes, want to see if I can utalize the 99 and up kit since I will be doing a 6.0 swap. I know the bodies are different, but how much as far as routing is what I am wondering. If all it ends up to be is a little hood clearance, I can get around that. I like this kit due to the fact that it is high mounted, and this would keep the truck able to be off road, with less issues.

I might have to reroute the downpipe some too, but thats nothing either.

Just trying to find out other opinions, and especially if there are anyone out there that have done this before.

Unless you swap to a newer style engine in that truck, none of the parts from a newer truck will fit. The older engine has the exhaust ports spaced very differently and none of the hot parts will match up.

This is the 97 style Vortec V8


This is the 99+ Vortec style V8
