Do LPP's come in 1 7/8? I'd like to eventually get some for my blown 4wd 2500 but don't want to beat the hell out of them to fit. Do you guys think they'll clear any easier on a 2500 vs a 1500 due to them being 2" higher?

Well ,my friend decided to heat them up and hammer them,seems like that's the only way they will go in on this truck ,I don't know about others that's why I made this thread to see if anyone from here had installed them on a 2WD NBS.If it was my truck I would had returned them.
We had no issues at all.

Not sure why you guys are having so many problems, and I would love to take more pics if you need them...
but there has been a ton of conspiracy with these headers. I don't care, they were cheap and did me well, so far. I did have to take out my crossmember to get the y pipe in, actually, both trucks did.
Only issue I am having is with my shitty jegs band clamps, I got all sorts of exhaust leaks from those *******.

I apologize, mine are 1 3/4. Here is a pic of them hitting the steering shaft on my nbs cc 4wd. It's not terrible, but as seen it rubs. I truly just need to take them off and dent them in a bit. I'll get a pic of the front diff yoke when I get home from class.

1 3/4" is much different to 1 7/8",I haven't read of anyone having problems with the 1 3/4" but haven't read anyone that installed 1 7/8" with "perfect fit" other than calspeed.
This guy also did 1 3/4"

I loosened and got everything set up several times and still it hits the front diff yoke without the clamps and bolts. I may try to loosen it all up one last time to see if I can get it to shift at all with the y, but it's not looking promising.
