When i talked to MC when purshasing mine i was told to do the exhaust spacer kit.

Thank you. Sounds like the fox shocks aren't a good idea. I've been reading that they are pretty stiff, but I do have some weight on my jeep that might soften things up.

That can work. Those spacers also push the crossover down. So, most aftermarket skids won't work. If you don't off-road and therefore don't need skids, then it is a good solution.

I take it that is confirmation regarding your concern of the welded ends?
