wow thats a new one lol only thing i can think of that relates to the suspension and exhaust is if u want custom piping that would be the closest thing (of which isnt close at all) but wow u should maybe consider a diff mechanic lol

Take your truck to a muffler shop, they shouldn't have any problems doing a custom exhaust system for ya.

Aaron, that really doesn't make too much sense either. Exhaust typically stays between the frame rails...

actually kyle, on our trucks, the exhaust crosses over the leaf springs and then out the side. i could see if you were doing dual exhaust, the exhaust could interfere with the suspension. especially on the drivers side. the gas tank along with the spare tire could make for a difficult exhaust path...
EDIT: what i wrote above may not be entirely true. on my truck, the exhaust pipe crosses over the leaf springs. i was under the impression that the shop i had it done at had followed the original routing. after seeing a few blazer/s10's tonight, i think the stock exhaust does stay b/w the rails and then turn out under the springs
