thats what I thought it was just by lookin at it but wasnt exactly sure..runnin wheel spacers..hows that work for yah? are they a hastle...I was thinking about doing the exact same thing as you...
Yes on spacers, no on hassle re torque every 3-5k miles, but it is worth it to have the look! plus I barely drive 100-150 miles a week

Your trucks exhaust would melt powder coat. You could use Jet Hot or go to your automotive store and buy high temp engine paint.

Let me tell ya. them pipes got cherry red and would burn anything that touched em guess thats why they have heat shields, but melting the thought crossed my mind when I had it done but notta never happened.

Really? Powder coat melts in the 350-400 range. Steel begins to turn red around 750. Either your pipes aren't as hot as you say or they're ceramic coated.
