02 Leaf Springs Rubbing Exhaust

Thread Title: "Using Add-a-Leaf to Replace broken Leaf???"

 

You're obviously right, how naive of me.

 

As pointed out, it is the longer shackles that are causing the problem, not the fact that your leaf springs are tired. In stock configuration, you should be able to compress the springs to the bump stops and have no spring to exhaust interference.

When I went to OME Dakars I first used their exhaust relocation set up, I didn't like how low it hung the exhaust tip so ended up cutting it behind the axle. I used a pipe cutter.

 

No way, the obvious answer would be a water jet cutting tool
