From my knowledge most companies that make them and say they fit, they will. If you had a stock hiegth and high pinion then most won't. I had to run block huggers on mine.

Dougs right here, all of those should fit your needs seeing how your still running the low pinion axle up front. My highboy has a 78' High pinion an my hooker headers are beat to hell from the pinion smaking the driver side in the past.

I'm lifted 3ish inches, but Mike says his headers are beat and he is lifted the same. Hmmmm

I have those hooker headers on mine and they fit well, but are close to the starter by about 1/2 inch. So buy wrap if you get them. I like them because they have the thickest metal on the tube and thick and heavy flanges. They also don't have the motor mount going through the middle of them like some headers do. The bad is they don't have the exhaust flanges on the collectors so I had to have them welded on, no big deal to me.

Sanderson block huggers will fit either way you go.
