- You will have to hang them low enough to handle suspension travel on the road.
- You will have to hang them low enough so that the axle can droop enough to get a tire off if you get a flat.

If you are going to try and do this on the cheap, why not just dump before the axle?

Yea, if you do it right and over the axle.. great, but its gonna be a heavy SOB. If you do dumps, its gonna be loud but you won't lose much ground clearance, my X pipe tucked up better than my current catback. Also, most X pipes will not allow for the use of a chassis mount torque arm, food for thought.

I loved my X pipe, it just got old after a warning from the state troopers and lots of nights trying to sneak home at 2am...
