Default Teraflex 2" Budget Boost

Ok well right now I have a 2" OME lift and I want to fit some 31" Firestone Destination M/T's on it so I want to add a Teraflex 2" Budget Boost. With this kit will I have to cut off my stainless steel exhaust tip or can I reroute it? I really want to keep the tip because it looks cool so if yall can help me add some lift without taking my tip away that would be great

just trim the fenders a little and put bigger tires on. no need to add extra lift.

I don't want to trim the fenders and I want to still be able to take it off road without it rubbing.

if you dont trim with 4" of lift and you run 31" tires they might rub at full flex but i wouldnt really be worried about it...lots of people are happy with 3" and 31's...so when you have an extra inch of lift you should really be ok...

keep in mind you are going to run into a lot of problems when you go to 4" of lift...

Add a one inch spacer and a one inch shackle to your ome.. Should have roughly 3.5 inches after that. Your ome shout have gave you more than 2 inches

To your exhaust question you can cut it and get a pipe extention with a bend and run it out behind the rear tire. I have done it and it looks pretty good coming out the side.

What is a good 1" spacer and shackle brand and where can I find them and would I need bar pin eliminators?
Also are they hard to install?
