Downpipe rubs...driving me crazy
I know i need to change the cab bushing on my truck. When i turn the cab rocks and the 3" DP rubs the firewall. It got worse last night when i cut the muffler off. I noticed that the 2 hangers between the DP and the muffler were just hanging there. When i cut the muffler off the whole exhaust fell off!! There is a clamp about a foot or so from the turbo. I slid it back together and could barely reach the clamp to tighten it. The nuts were very tight but not enough to clamp it together. So i slipped the exhaust back onto the hangers but now the DP rubs all the time driving down the road. I know the bushing need to be changed and hopefully that would "lift" the cab a little and keep it from rubbing. Anyone else have this problem? Can i do a body lift like a 2" or something?

Yes you can do a 2" body lift but you might have to move somethings ( like fan cover coolent lines and if you would have an intercooler you would have to change the piping a little) to do it. But it would work. I would like to do a 1" body lift. just to give me a little more room for my down pipe. And second turbo. have fun and good luck

ive had the same thing with my 97 psd. got a mbrp 3 inch dp ad it touches the firewall. i dont have bad bushings or anything though. ive had this on here for a while and havent gotten any problems just that things rattle a little more in the cab and everything is louder. ide just change your bad bushings and let it touch. shouldnt hurt anything
