Has anyone modified their Hooker 6114's driver side header to avoid using the frame rail busting lousy drop bracket?
If I remember correctly didn't Jay Brown perform this mod for that exact purpose ???

Thanks,
TonyS

The only way that I am aware of, is to eliminate the factory power steering setup,  as the drop bracket is required to clear the hydraulic  cylinder.
