Having a hard time with the jkforum app loading pictures. The AFE y pipe is the way to go if you're not replacing the drive shaft. AFE shipped my pip $180 otd it's the aluminized one the stainless wasn't in stock. I recommend it and will post photos later.

the rancho and dynomax are the same as the rancho comes with the dynomax label on it.







I shimmed the tranny skid to hang down a bit but the main cross member not much you can do about lowering that.
