(#3) passenger side header does not fit. It is swept back to far, the flange is almost up against the body flange at the bottom of the firewall. They were cheap headers from a local mom and pop shop here in town.
My two cents on these issues since you're getting help on the Tcase.

You can use something like this to move the axle back in the wheel well.

There's similar parts available just find the one you want. Another option is to remove your rear axle, cut off the stock perches and weld on these: https://www.wfoconcepts.com/pr/2-5-L...rch/16871/3373

I went with option two to center my axle up in the wheel well.

For your headers I'd recommend Sanderson headers. I used these and they fit and look amazing. Happy to post a pic if you want.
