What's up fellas!! I just recently lifted my JK Rubi and I'm stuck on what to do with the exhaust.
I know the right way is to spend the money and get a 1310 driveshaft, but after lift rims tires, my pocket is kinda empty.

Is there one exhaust spacer better then the other? ( terra flex, rough country, bds, etc ) are they all the same? I keep hearing some leak or having trouble with the rest of exhaust rattling.

Is there any other solutions?

I'm gonna try to purchase a spacer kit tonight or if anyone has any other solutions that I can try. I have a wheeling trip coming up this weekend and I don't want to miss it.

Thanks for your help.

 

I have the teraflex spacers with my 3" lifted 2dr. No leaks but even with the lift the angles too much and the shaft is starting to sweat grease up top. The spacers are just to protect the shaft boot from even more premature wear.

 

I just installed the 3.5" rock krawler and 35s so a total of about 5" overall lift. Don't have the money to spend in a driveshaft... looking for a cheap solution for now.
Thanks for the input.

 

i got some rugged ridge ones and it was such a waste.. bolts snapped and wasnt even tq'd down all the way. So now i hafta take it to an exhaust shop. Plus the flanges didnt line up right.

 

This is what I'm afraid of!!! It being a waste of money and time.

 

exhaust guy told me he'd charge me 40 bucks to just cut and weld alil loop below the front driveshaft. 40 bucks vs. paying 20-25 for the spacers. this is the route i'd go. Im in the same situation just spent like 2k on a lift. I cant afford a new driveshaft at the moment.

 

That's prob the best way to go. Rancho has something like that I just looked up. It's ranching exhaust pipe kit. It lowers the cross pipe out of the way from DS. It's good from 2-5" of lift. Something to check out.

 

interesting.. link for it?

 

Below the drive shaft? Kinda defeats the lift a bit, no?

 

Lower then the DS but just about even with the crossmember. It's only $60. Beats buying a DS got awhile.
