    Yea I will need to do something about the exhaust. I'll probably wait on that till the bumper and shackle flip are complete so it doesn't end up in the way. I'm thinking I might just cut it off above the axle though.right where it's bent down.image.jpg

    A lot of guys do it like that. I had a shop cut mine right before the last hangar, weld on a turn down tip, and weld the hangar back on....

    @GsxRtaco I really like how you have the sides of the bumper shaped. I haven't seen a high clearance bumper shaped like that :thumbsup:

    As for the exhaust, I cut mine off in the spot you're talking about. Just let it dump over the axle. IDK what the factory exhaust is made from but haven't had a problem with it yet and it's been that way for ~5 years.
