quoted from the sticky:
Q. What kind of ground clearance will duals give me?
A. Duals usually will sacrifice a little ground clearance. It really depends on how custom they were designed as well as how well they are tucked up. I have seen some where they are very close to the ground and others that are almost at stock height. My duals are tucked up far and I never hit them, I scrape my headers before I scrape the duals. Ground clearance will also depend on the size of the pipes you use.

ah, well i think the general idea is still the same. i depends on the size of the exhaust and how you rout it. if you look through the true dual sticky you can see how people have routed their exhausts differently. i'd get the cross member mounted torque arm and build your true duals around it. it can be done.
