Help with TJ Lift
I have a 2000 Jeep TJ that I had a 3 inch BDS Lift installed. I have a
problem that I don't understand. When the front end goes down on a mild stop one of the exhaust pipes that is closest to the front differential yoke is being hit by the yoke while it is spinning. It looks like before the lift was put in, the yoke would have been above the pipe and would cause no problem but now the yoke is below the pipe and it hits it. I looked for something out of place under the vehicle but I don't see anything. Is this normal for the lift kit and this year and the people that installed it did not tell me or what. thanks |

The way I understand it from their site, when installing this lift, one either has to lower the transfer case and keep the original ground clearance or put in a "slip yoke eliminator" and gain some. I'm assuming you had it done for cosmetic purposes and thus the former is the case. It could be it's just a problem with your particular model or one which got overlooked when they decided to sell the kit without the "slip yoke eliminator". If it's minor I would suggest checking if there's enough leeway<sp?> in the exhaust mountings to move the pipe away sufficiently without it then ratlling against the bodywork or, if all else fails, backing up the exhaust with something and just hammering a dent in the pipe so it clears the yoke (perhaps unscrewing the manifold from the block to make sure nothing cracks there, but you would need to fit new exhaust gaskets if you did).
