HOT-ROD:
i have seen that a few times. i just cut it off. then had a custom job done
kirksjeep:
The thing that sucks, my exhaust was custom bent, and its still in great condition. I am hoping a few minor tweaks will make it work.

I got the axle in position, drive shaft on, wheels on, off the jack stands, but the shocks are becoming a PITA. The Tera Flex shock relocation bar causes the passenger side shock to hit the tail pipe. It looks like my only option is going to be to cut my tail pipe off just behind the muffler and try and modify it to work with the shocks. I figure worst case, I might need to get a new tail pipe bent up and welded on. I won't have much time to get to it until Friday. :-\

tail pipes r overrated

I managed to get the tailpipe out without too much damage to it, but now it looks like I will need a new muffler to make this all work. The outlet of the muffler is directly in front of the shock now that the shock mounts at the top are more inboard . My muffler is a flowmaster 50 series with a center outlet and looks to be about 14-16" long. I just ordered one of the flowmaster super 44 (off road/ diamond plate exterior) with an offset outlet, and it is only 12" long. The good news it that the shock tabs are on, so tomorrow I will pull the axle back out and finish the welding and put some paint on it. I am also waiting on my Solid Diff cover to arrive. They are still 1/2 off, so with shipping it was only $65. I'll try to get some pics before I pull everything back out.
here is a link to what I ordered.
