Exhaust spacers needed?
Just ordered the RK 2.5 kit a day ago and was wondering am I going to need to install exhaust spacers or will I be fine with that kit? I have a 2013 2 Door Rubi.

I have a 2.5 TF lift with 1/2" spacers on my 13 and have not installed exhaust spacers. I tested mine to see how much room I had for the driveshaft to droop and had a good amount. My stock driveshaft has not rubbed and is still going after 12000 miles since the lift and a lot of offloading. Do you need a spacer? No, but you might not be as lucky as me and my DS might get damaged any day. When it does I'm going with CV shafts.

2.5 max travel on my 2 door and I needed exhaust spacers and aftermarket ds. Even then, the space between is minimal. You have to think what length of shocks you'll use. That'll determine if you need one it not.

For what it's worth, I tore the rubber boot on my 2012 2dr with just a 2.5" teraflex BB. If anyone needs an exhaust spacer I have a brand new never installed teraflex exhaust spacer I can ship to you for $25
