Default 2.5" or 3" exhaust?

Well after lift, the tail pipe hits the rear shackle. So, I might as well replace the muffler and tail pipe.

Do you have 2.5" or 3" pipe?

Thanks

2.5" is plenty, some say a bit much for a stocker. After the muffler, its not going to matter much, except clearance. I personally run a maggy 14" oval with a turndown. I don't like tailpipes on heeps anymore.

I put a 2.5" on my frontier and noticed no loss in power. Wife likes the sound. lol

As for the Jeep. No exhaust gets into the cab?
