on the back of my disco ive got +2" pro comp shocks, old man emu springs, yeterday i fitted dislocation cones and scorpian lower shock mounts,

i noticed that the rear a frame on the axle was hitting the exhaust before the rear trailing arms maxed out travel (corrected ones needed asap)

was hitting exhaust just as it started to bend up over the axle. as i could not be bothered to mess about and wanted to get the job done i cut it off just before it hit

any one else had this problem and any ideas on where to route exhaust, had a quick look but its cold and dark now  :D

cheers

Budgie:
Not had that problem on mine, have you got the longer bumpstops fitted?

thumbs:
no i have not got longer bump stops, but cant see how that would have helped

i had the chassis up high on axle stands, rear, front still on the ground, had no wheels on rear and lowered axle down to max shocks  with trolley jack under the axle. it hit the exhaust before it limited either the travel on shocks or trailing arms!

Budgie:
Got you now!!  #-o

No, the bumpstops won't help.

Normally you won't get both sides of the axle dropping to full extent at the same time, unless you intend doing any jumps with it!  :wink:
What's it like on cross axle? As that's where your more likely to be using the travel.

yeah thats true, i see wher you are comeing from, i havent had it cross axled yet, put wouldnt no now coz the exhaust section is out of the way! lens up the side of the garage  :D
