what headers fit the 1500 HD?
I was going to get Pacesetters but supposedly they don't fit the HD trucks but do fit the regular trucks. What fits my truck? If the Pacesetters fit then let me know, and provide pictures if possible. I am not interested in running the ORY because I will keep the dual 3 inch pipes into the muffler with no cats and run either an X with 2 mufflers or a single muffler with dual 3" inlets with either single 3 1/2 outlet or 4 inch outlet. That is my exhaust setup, so what headers should I run?

I ran OBX on my 03 2wd 1500HD They had plenty clearance, no issues with fit what so ever. I could put a hand between them and the frame, not even close to rubbing. They looked great after a year of being installed.

Maybe, just sharing my experience. I will say this, I used the OBX with Y for a 5.3 and ran a single 3" Corsa cat back. Thinking I had a restriction there, I droped the collectors and had no drop in boost, well not the collector itself, but the first joint after the O2. I know the collectors were 2.5" but would think that practically open headers would be less restriction than a mile of 3" pipe. Guess I was wrong. May not prove a thing and not trying to sway you, just saying what I saw.

I feel a difference on the top end with the pacesetter versus the obx. Pacesetter has much better collector and 3" piping. Problem with Pacesetter is cheap quality and will probably need to be replaced in a couple years (southern climate may not have this problem).
