Big wheel rubi

Installed my rancho pipe kit and driveshaft clears by a mile. Also welded the bottom cut. Didn't like the clamp underneath the tranny pan. And clamped the top cut. Just in case I wanted to upgrade my exhaust it wouldn't be a pita to take out.
Now at least I can wheel with out worrying about driveshaft issues. It clears the cross member by an inch and clears the pipe by 3 inches. Greatest $50 investment I made so far.

Looks great. What did you use to cut the pipe?

Sawzall to the rescue!!!

Cool thanks. I was thinking sawzall has to be the easier than a cut-off wheel at that angle.

I took that whole section off. The directions recommend taking that whole middle piece if exhaust off before cutting. It makes it a lot easier. It's pretty easy, they give all the measurements where to cut.
And welding the front cut instead of the clamp is a lot better. I just didn't like the clamp under the tranny pan. I think this set up is better then spacers, where they only move the exhaust back about an inch. This set up actually drops the pipe totally out of the way from driveshaft.

That ranch pipe is going to find its way on my jeep soon. Putting the finishing touches on my lift and there's not a lot left in the account for a new driveshaft.

Any 1 running the dynamax pipe (similar to rancho but cheaper i think)?

I'm going to go with this magnaflow pro series exhaust. It drops right before rear axil. Anyone have this, chime in. Only concern is exhaust fumes.

At what point of lift (how much) do you need to add an exhaust spacer? I'm ordering the TF 2.5" spring lift next week and am trying to button up all the loose ends. Is this something I'll need to address? I've got a '13 2 door sport if that matters.

I did this in the last few days. Paid local Muff shop 120 for everything. While he had it up he said lets fix the driveline issue for 30 more bucks. It all looks great and fits perfect. The only thing I do not like cause I am old lol is when I step on it it is a little loud for my taste but my 18 year old said it sounds BADASS.
