    Maybe it's only the exhaust that hangs below the crossmember. I'll have to look again.

    Yeah. Mine is now. A couple weekends ago I found out exactly how shitty the breakover angles on the stock suspension are. I went home and ordered an Icon lift.

    Looking to get the dinged Y-Pipe replaced with something like yours that sits above the frame rails. Looks kickass man.
