Exhaust problems with the Trail Gear rear lift for 1st gen Tacomas

I have a 1996 Tacoma and I am halfway through installing the lift. I am having issues rerouting my exhaust as the kit requires this to properly clear the axle and new longer springs. I have some crappy straight through muffler that is about the size of the OEM muffler in the same location but I am worried just dumping it behind the axle it will still interfere with the upgrades I am installing. Has anyone installed this kit and what did you do for the exhaust?

 

Chop it

 

See if have chevy length leaf springs and i had to take out the spare tire cross member and I have to weld in 2 crossmembers after I box my frame and one of those will be in the way of the huge factory muffler if my tape measurer work is correct. Both of my shocks will mount behind the axle on one of those new cross members. Also I cant find an OEM muffler any where local and not overpriced and I want to swap mine since it's just a oval with no packing or anything in it so the thing sounds bad. Very bad.
