Looking to get some stacks, some help needed

[DIESEL KEVIN]

hello everyone, i just got my truck a week ago, and i am very pleased with it. Everything checked O.K by 3 mechanics , but a water pump,(replaced it). I am looking into getting stacks for it, like 4 to 6 inch. i am just 16 so i dont have a lot of money or knowledge on these diesel trucks. My truck has an 8ft. extended bed, i haul 3 of my dirtbikes when i go riding, so i think this could be a problem? If i put the stacks on it is there a cover that is heat resistant so i can tighten my front tires to the plate? Is there anything to section it off safely? thanks alot !

Yeah i've seen a few guys who have stacks and they have a diamond plate box that covers the cross pipe in the bed. If your getting stacks I haven't seen any smaller than 5", that's what I have on my truck. You can go 6 or 7" also. Grand Rock are nice stacks. Also MBRP has a smokers kit.

6" look badazz on our body style.

Diamond plate cover the pipes and it shouldn't get too hot.

Hell, screw the bed - get a trailer! LOL

yeah, i do have a trailer, but hell the truck is to damn long anyway. i guess i could get the diamond plate cover, and put some kind of extra thick insulation, and do some practice runs without my bike in the back, we'll see.

the stacks will block your front hooks in the bed i know from experince. but i have 5" mitres that look sweet.

[DIESEL KEVIN]

oh yeah stroker good thinking, duh i didnt realize that. maybe i could get some custom hooks in the bed somewhere, ill take a look.

i dont know what your plans are but i have a buddy who runs stacks in his bed with the cover over them and he just took a piece of 1/4 inch steel and welded it to the inside of the bed mounted new hooks on the steel for support then had a spray in bed liner which made it look great you would have to know what the bed looked like before to realize it wasn't a factory hook location. Just a suggestion

MBRP makes a cover, its diamond plate, i asuume you could use it with any system not jus the Smokers system

grand rock is the way to go for the stacks the best price i found for the kit was with place called mandrel bending solution they have a web page check them out.
