Help exhaust hitting shock
Well I just got my 3'' super lift kit in today. Got under it after getting back on the ground and the right rear shock is rubbing on the exhaust slightly. I have a stock down pipe in to a cat back 4" some kind of pipe. It is 4" going over the rear axle anyway. I was wanting to do a full 5" exhaust but if I am already having problems with this, don't think it will work. Any one have some good pics of a 5" bend over the axle.
Thanks
Sheldon

Yeah, loosely fit the pipes before tightening down. It takes some jockeying if you will. I have a 5" and it fits. It actually rubs the tranny pan rail and not so much the shock. I am going to fix this with a BFH.
EDIT: make sure you move the spare as far away to the driver side as you can. This should make plenty of room for a 4" pipe.

It may not need much. The lift will take the exhaust up with it, leaving more room inthe space the exhaust used to occupy. It will probably be as simple as loosening the tailpipe clamp and rotating the pipe down a hair.
