    Hey guys,
    Im looking to replace my old crappy exhaust to both stop dying from exhaust fumes and gain more clearance from the way the previous owner hung mufflers 2" from the ground. Also, the long tube headers are too close to the ground as it is, and the motor is currently sitting on DIY v8 mounts that have the motor up maybe an inch and a half if not 2".
    So, any opinions on v8 mounts from auto krafters? And has anyone replaced mounts without a cherry picker? Maybe floor jacks just to keep it up enough to swap in the correct mounts and lower down onto them?
    Also, im going to order some hedman 88400 shorty headers.
    Whats the going rate to get a new two dual exhaust bent up to dumps just before the axle?
    Thanks in advance everyone. Screenshot_2017-05-09-10-28-07.png

    You really need V-8 STEEL frame mounts for a Maverick if you don't have those.
