I am doing a suspension/body lift combo and I was thinking the other day about my duals I had done before I thought about lifting it. The duals come straight out the back (www.cardomain.com/id/davematthews112 to see) and I was wondering if the body lift will make a big gap between the bumper and the exhaust. It's a 3" body lift...so if it does put a gap...willl it look absolutely disgusting? I don't want to redo my exhaust....thanks everyone!
 






Well, If you use the bumper brackets that come with the body lift then yes, there will be a gap. Will it be a big enough one to make you want to redo you exhaust? I doubt it. I don't think it will look too bad. If you do a body lift, you're always going to have a gap somewhere. If you use the bumper brackets the gap will be between the bumper and the pipes. If you don't use them the gap will be between the body and the bumper which, in my opinion, looks a whole lot worse than gap between the bumper and the pipes.
 






I redid my exhaust after my 3 inch body. I didn't like the gap.
