ok so I move my springs in 1/2” and now my tailpipes are almost touching leafs, pipe actually above spring.. not interested in cutting up my new tailpipes... any advice.. who would think 1/2” would cause this issue.
 
Anybody that looked at how the pipes were routed and used a little imagination?

Sorry. I have the 1/2” offset kit and 2.5” tail pipes, it’s ridiculously tight on the passenger side. The spring tends to put the exhaust where it needs to be and I have some scrapes on that tail pipe to show I haven’t always gotten it quite right. I bent the flange on the fuel tank a little on that side to buy some additional clearance. There’s basically only one place the pipe can be for it to clear, has to be perfect.

I have 1/2" relo kit and full TTI exhaust system, not a single problem anywhere. My tailpipes are new as of a few months ago. How old are yours? I wonder if they changed designs. It think it probably also depends on the type of leaf springs you have. If mine were flatter, I can see how it would be a problem. That's over an inch of clearance. The other side is nearly identical to this one. Oh, and these are 2.5" pipes.

is your tip hanger-on side of rail or underneath rail? cuz min is on side maybe that's problem.
 
Looks like you are using factory style exhaust tips that hang from a biscuit from the inside of the frame? Get a longer bolt and space the pipe away from the frame with washers. I think it took 4 thick washers to fix mine when I installed the MP relocation kit.

Usually the tail pipe is straight side to side coming out of the muffler when looking from the rear. Atleast my cars were. Kim
