I just cut off the tip of my exhaust. If it's hitting the body get a little longer shackle or boomerang shackle.

I had the same issue and started a thread about it a few weeks back. I found out if was because my IRO rear leafs were designed to run with lift shackles. I installed shackles, it flexes great, and the shackle angle is damn near perfect.

Get the No Lift HD Offroad relocators. I would run a longer shackle in one of the upper position holes.
