2012 4dr lift/exhaust question.
I'm running a teraflex 2 1/2" coil lift and 315/70/17s Duratracs on my 2012 4dr Rubicon.
My question for those with a similar set up -- are you having any issues with the front driveshaft rubbing on the exhaust cross pipe while wheeling? I've got more than enough room while on the road.
I purchased the teraflex exhaust spacer, but I'm debating whether or not I need to install it.
I put the jeep on jack stands under the frame and let the front axle drop as much as it would. Unfortunately, my stands aren't tall enough to get a full flex without the tires touching the ground. That being said, I think it was close to full flex. I still had about an inch worth of clearance before the driveshaft would have touched the exhaust pipe.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Happy Thanksgiving.

if you are still running stock shocks, no, you will not have a problem with this. if you ordered new TF shocks with your lift and made sure they were for a 2012, they should be short enough to prevent this as well.

I have the TF 2.5" Coil lift sitting in the garage, as I just got it yesterday. I ordered the spacer kit with it and plan to put it on as they have advised on the TF video, not to mention Dave from Northridge advised it as well.
Like you, I wonder if it is as necessary on the 2.5" as it would be on the 3" and up.
