Been having a problem now with the front driveshaft rubbing up against the Exhaust Down-pipe. Eventually, it cracked bc of the wear, giving me a real bad exhaust leak. See pic:
So, I wanted to adjust the vertical height of the pipe, without getting too crazy with frame mounts. So I made these:
I bent 3/8" threaded rod and added stainless nuts and terminal end-rods.
Then I attached them here, at the bottom flange of the CAT:
Now you can adjust the total height of the exhaust by spinning up or down and locking the terminal portions. They move up pressing against the skid plate.
Problem solved, never need to buy another down pipe again lol.
