Are headers worth it for me?

My duster was probably about the same ride height as Kern Dogs. Scraped the LH side Hedman several times. Bought some Dougs for $380 with the Autozone 20% discount. The flanges at the head are literally twice the thickness of the Hedmans. $200 is paying too much for Hedmans. If you can get them for $75, then OK.
