Default Lift install question.

Will taking my exhaust off from muffler back make it easier to install the leaf springs.

I don't think so- I did my springs a couple weeks ago and don't remember any curse words directed at the muffler or exhaust. Note that there were plenty of curse words, just none directed at those particular pieces getting in the way. :-)

i highly doubt it. mine didnt get in the way at all on my 93. then again i mounted mine higher than stock myself, but i still dont think youll have an issue. you might want to remove at least the nuts on your rear swaybar connections tho because it will make it easier for your leafspring mount and u joints line up easier. good luck

if you still have the stock bent stuff it may **** you off a little while trying to change out that passenger rear shock, but besides that its outta your way

We didnt have any problems installing mine. Although the back pass side shock is pretty darn close the the exhaust.... Its not too close that it will hurt my shock, but it may warp my shock boot!

Good Luck!
