What issues are faced putting them on a 2500? I just bought a pair because many people had said they will fit......so now I'm like "uh oh" cause if they don't fit or if something needs to be notched out of like the K member, I'm sending them back

the frame rails are so close to the headers that I’ve heard you have to hammer in the header or notch the frame to get them to fit. I was hoping someone found some that actually fit

American Racing Headers makes a pair that are listed for the 2500, they don't look too different from the pacesetters, but if the pacesetters don't fit I guess I'll have to drop like probably $2400 CAD for the ARH long tubes.

The other thing I've seen mentioned is because of the front suspension interfering with the headers going over bumps, but my truck is lifted so I wonder if that makes a difference?
I've also heard that the frame is wider in a 2500.....so much conflicting f***ing information.

I guess I'm going to find out because I ordered them and when I get my truck I'll see what I can do about test fitting, and talking to an exhaust shop.
I absolutely DO NOT want to have to cut parts of the truck to fit them
