    This is good to know. Since the truck is becoming more of a trail rig, considering going back to the KM2s.

    Question for anyone who has their exhaust hacked after axle: Do you need to relocate the hanger? Or is the pipe welded onto the muffler sufficient to carry its own weight?

    I didn't do anything with a hanger and mine is just fine "hanging" there. It doesn't move.

    I'm just about to do this, I have my templates cut out. I'm curious though, did you weld flush with the top or down a bit?

    Is that the Wheeler's AAL specifically for adding to their 5-pack?

    Does it go on the bottom (above the overload)?

    Also, it doesn't look like you've used a BPV relocate bracket. Were you able to adjust the threaded rod enough instead?

    Yes its the wheelers AAL designed specifically for their leaf pack.

    Unless I did it wrong, leafs should go from longest to shortest, so yes, the AAL would be just above the overload.

    And BPV relocate is next on the list. I adjusted the threaded rod all the way up, which worked fine for the 5 packs by themselves (with all the weight I carry) but is probably not high enough now.
