Default 48" tall stacks ????

I was wondering why nobody runs the longer stacks on there trucks. Every pickup truck I see with stacks have the 36" stacks. I am looking to put stacks on my truck I was trying to see if there is sum reason everyone runs 36". I like the look of the taller ones if anyone has the 48"s can they post a pic or comment thank you.

ok guys thanks for your un-usefull information. I made my decision. I am going to run the 6x48 aussie or bull haulers. I think stacks hidden behind the cab looks like **** looks like car wash add on chrome. You can not even tell there stax unless you are rite up close to them. But hey too each is own !

People will go certain heights just out of preference. Maybe a majority of people with stacks like 36"...
The main reason is for looks. If it's anything else, maybe they want the noise to be a little higher/lower... preference.

In my opinion, it's rare to find a truck that has stacks that look good (proportional).

well said countrygirl! I just think stax lower than the roof just does not look rite. I have never seen a 379 pete with stacks lower then the roof or any semi isnt that the look stacks are copying on a pickup ? Like having 8 inch stacks on a pickup truck or big chrome wheels on a lifted offroard truck just dont go togather

the reason u hardly ever see the 48s is because most people dont like the look of tall stacks. im one of the ones who dont like real tall stacks thats why i went with a custom stack that juat barely misses the top of the cab, to each there own
