Have you changed your front upper control arms?
I'm looking for some info from anyone who has experience with changing out front upper control arms on a 07-11 JK. I got some currie adjustables, installed the driver side, then when I went to do the passenger side, the damn exhaust sits dead center where the frame bolt for the control arm needs to be pulled out... Do I need to unbolt that section of exhaust where it meets header? I tried prying exhaust out of the way, but could only move it so far and not enough... thanks

We were able to sneak the bolt out by just prying on the exhaust a little bit and then sneak it back it doing the same.
Cutting it and putting it back in the opposite way is another option as someone above mentioned.
