Installation Notes

Verify wheelbase, bed configuration, and model year before installation. Some listed applications were originally built as welded assemblies, and the notes indicate that related parts should be replaced where applicable. On 1995-1997 Ford Ranger applications, the pipe is noted as cut as required.

For best results, compare the existing exhaust routing and mounting points before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
