Default Rancho Exhaust Pipe Kit - Thank you Matt @ Rancho

First off, a big thank you to Matt @ Rancho for answering my numerous questions quickly and professionally. He provided outstanding service!

I have the Teraflex 2.5 coil kit with Bilsteins, for whatever reason the kit came with longer front shocks (I don't mind as I may up the lift down the line). This caused my driveshaft to make contact with the exhaust even with exhaust spacers. I was originally going to go with a new front drivesaft but after some insight from Matt, I decided to go with Rancho's kit.

As you can see here, the driveshaft making contact:

Rancho Exhaust Pipe installed. Please note that the Exhaust spacers are still on at the moment because I did not have the right bolts to connect the exhaust after removing the spacers . Plenty of clearance as you can see. Will be plenty even after the spacers are removed!

Very pleased with the kit, every simple install too. This was my first exhaust kind of mod, and managed to get through it without much trouble.

Thanks again Rancho and I hope this may help people on the forums!
