Pretty interesting to watch people argue over limit straps. So far I've heard they are dangerous, limit articulation and to expensive. They are perfectly safe and protect your shocks, and keep your coils seated. Some of you act like your running 14" coil over shocks. Just buy a after market drive shaft and call it a day. Try using the factory one and the boot by the tf case will still blow out with all these spacers and y pipes.

Back AND down. Lose ground clearance and put the crossover below the crossmember. Great idea if you have a shop (or yourself) cut and weld a couple pieces in and push it back and not down. If you are going to be flexing enough to need the fix, then you don't want to push the exhaust down.

Or would it just be better to go to a muffler shop and have them push the crossover back? Sounds like that may be cheaper.

I was just referencing that video for the measurements. I was thinking of going with aFe y pipe. Is that a good solution? Do you know if the loop delete pipe affects performance? Not sure if it is a different length than the loop but can't imagine that it isn't shorter. Qtec has the combo for 350 but if it affects performance I will just go with the y.

[QUOTE="kjeeper10;3925146"]Great idea moving the exhaust back. Doesn't Rancho also offer a relo pipe.[/QUOTE
Same deal, but worse. It essentially curves the pipe down to clear the driveshaft. Although, if used while off roading, it's a very effective way to remove your exhaust system.
