I'd ask an engineer, anything over 2" should be engineered, he should let you know yay or nay.

I'd be sceptical myself until I had someone willing to sign it off.

They are a pile of shit. I know Overkill had all sorts of issues fitting one to a Ranger. The front tailshaft didnt bolt back up as it hit the gearbox crossmember and was a complete driveshaft flange height out from fitting. Id avoid it big time.
