I think you can add reduces onto the bottom of the stacks to make it work. I know that the bigger grand rock stacks go down to 5" but like I said a reducer should work, but don't quote me on that

If it rained enough to fill your exhaust system back to the turbo, I think the truck would be under water and the least of your worries

would a 6" stack have a different sound coming from 4" downpipe rather than a 5" stack?

You have way more tolerance than I do. I had a rain cap on my straight cut for about a week. Now it's sitting on a shelf. Sumbitch, those things are annoying! Now if its raing hard, I go out and put a lid from a can of Gator-aid mix on it.

+1

drill a small hole at the lowest point. the exhaust will rust faster from the inside out.. otherwise when you start it after a heavy rain it will throw soot filled nasty water 10' up in the air which will rain back down on your truck or whatevers nearby and make it nasty.
