is your driveshaft hitting the exhaust pipe when flexing the front end? my friend's 01 two-door has this problem. He has a 3" lift. I'm not sure why his hits and mine doesn't. maybe axle is too far towards the passenger side.

Do you have an adjustable track bar? Maybe the axle is too far off center.

I noticed my driver side up motor mount is broke, that's probably adding to my problem! Also no I don't have an adjustable track bar, cause of my lack of funds!!! But if I run exost out of the way will I still need the track bar?
That axle looks centered driving down the road!

The factory down pipe is crushed/dimpled for clearance to the front driveshaft yoke.

In 00+ they went with the LP D30 an got rid of the dimple.... but regardless of that broken motor mounts would cause your problem.
