There was nowhere in the instructions that said where to put it, so when I was installing I went with the middle hole because the same long arm kit is the same for 3",4", or 6" with the exception of the springs. I then called Teraflex and they told me the middle hole was correct and the 4x4 shop that aligned everything said that it was right also.

OK, I have decided to buy a "Red Hots Glass Pack Muffler Part #: 50252FLT" and take it down to a local shop to have it welded in. The size is 18" with 2.5" in/oulets. The total overall length is 24" which seems to be cutting it kind of close between bends in the stock pipes. 
The question is: How much will a shop charge to fab up the turndown pipe in the location of the removed stock muffler? None of the local shops would even make a guess over the phone.
Should happen in the next few days. I will post pics.

Shouldn't be too much. They didnt have to custom fab any bent pipes they just used some universal pieces they already had. Ask for a quote, but it wont be too expensive. Also I may be wrong so double check, but I think the muffler is 3 in 2.5 out..but I cant recall so yea double check.

I replaced my stock muffler with a Gibson. It's about a third the size and tucks up in the stock location. If anything could get up there a bent muffler would be the last of my worries. My only concern with relocating the muffler along the frame rails is the fact that my gas tank skid is beat to high heavens, and relocating a muffler to the same spot (but on the other side) seems like putting it in harms way. I often wonder why people want to relocate there evap canister to protect it, and then stick a muffler in it's place. Just curious.

Just had the cherry bomb installed today. Relocated to the area beneath the driver seat. I really like the sound. Not nearly as loud as I thought it would be.
I'm not fond of the burble you get from downshifting or when the revs return to idle. I am hoping the intake I intend to install will give it a better note and throttle response.
Pictures coming tomorrow.
