I believe Forte will cut them down to clear the frame rails (otherwise they hang below), or you can source separately and cut yourself with a metal bandsaw, angle grinder, etc.
One other thing to note is you will have to modify the glovebox on the dash in order for the heater to fit, or locate the heater differently than factory five's default location.
Agree about the driveshaft loop. I picked up a metco loop and installed on my rig. The idea of the driveshaft spinning right beside my lateral hip as well as the passenger unnerves me a bit. Really good folks here. I consider many my friends and they really want you to succeed.
