Ok. Last question. Lol
My passenger side tire is rubbing the exhaust when I turn to the right all the way. Did y’all cut and move the exhaust or just lift the front higher?
Stretch the front
 
Stretch the front

I think redline land cruisers has a piece you weld onto the frame side control arm mount that pushes the front axle forward an inch. That might be preferable to hammering your exhaust pipe closed.

Yup. Move the front axle forward. If it rubs on the street, hammering won't be enough for it to clear on the trail.
 
It’s the only thing it hits. Seems easier to go to an exhaust shop and have it cut and tucked closes to frame. I don’t think the axle can move 1” foreword without creating more problems with clearances up front. Maybe though. Guess I need to ramp it and see

Do you know what it might be called? I checked through their parts and didn’t see anything.
 
With moving the axle forward you’ll need to extend the front driveshaft.
 
Just 3-link it already :rolleyes:

I saw someone post a picture of it on here. I couldn't find it on their site either. The person that posted it said if you called Redline they can make it happen.
 
I have front and rear DC shafts that are extended already.
But if you move the axle forward further away from the TC... I would at least measure again to make sure. Also, you could have a custom DS spacer made for it and use longer bolts at the flange.

From VCCruzr's flop/chop build.

No. I am about 1 1/4" forward of stock, running a factory driveshaft and factory panhard rod for that matter with my longarm setup.
