If you look at Pacesetters web site they list them as 4wd compatible. For some reason Summit doesn't list them as such. Part # is the same on both. Southeast Performance sells a pretty damn nice set of custom longtubes as well:

Edit: I stand corrected. They didn't list them as 4wd compatible two weeks ago, but apparently someone caught on.

i was gonna say, those headers arent the pacesetters that im looking at. those look like for a 4x, not the 2x

They both will work on either 2wd or 4wd.The difference in putting long tubes on a 4wd as opposed to a 2wd lies within the pipe work. It's alot more tricky to pipe true duals in on a 4wd. I think the reason Southeast layed that Mopar shorty header next to thiers was to show the relative connect point in reference to your existing crossover pipe. I amthinking about getting ready to get ready to order a 408 bottom end, but either way ( 360 or 408) long tubes are going to be my next mod. Shorties are a waste of time and money. Sure, they make a lame *** attempt to tune pulse, but what are you going to get when the longest pipe is 20 inches or so? Igot a quote of $800 to install my supplied headers with thier supplied;high flow cats, flowmaster mufflers, pipe, and labor. Pros and cons aside, I would bet money that if you- saved up, bit the bullet, or whatever- you would be happier with the long tubes.

- i was directing my comment to cereal killer..since he is the one that has the 4X4

- theres no question as to which header is more superior... long tubes are much more effective....

i remember a few years ago, when ZeekXX was around, that he was following up on a fella that was working on prototyping bolt on longtubes that would fit the 4X4's(to include the header, down/cross pipe, and into a cat) but for some reason it ecscapes me of why it was such a problem to fit longtubes on 4X4's.. something with the t-case or front axle .. or the location of both,, man my memory is failing me in my old age.. maybe someone from back then will remember and chime in.

trust me.... if i had the know how and means of putting a set of longtubes on my ram... id be all over it!

I used the day upswapping my cam out, and, while ho humming about it, was up under there looking. I'm pretty sure it can be done. Thereare a couple of tricky bends that would have to be made, but a good shop w/ a mandrel bender could do it no problem. The biggest trick is going to be the offset bends on the right side to match the left. I will surely leave it up to those guys though.

Edit: Ijust ammended my sig to include 4wd
