Gibson exhaust install tip

[Daemon]

I bought a Gibson exhaust advertised for a 2016–2019, but it wouldn't fit because of the dual rate springs. Instead of cutting the exhaust like others suggested, I jacked up the rear until both tires were off the ground, unbolted the shocks, and wiggled the tires and that gave enough space to fit it perfectly.

Nice workaround!! The dual rate springs can definitely make things tight, so unbolting the shocks and letting the suspension droop was a smart move. That extra clearance made all the difference without having to cut anything

Glad you found a solution and while I have you here, what are your thoughts on the exhaust? How's the noise?

Nice workaround, did you notice any change in ride quality or suspension behavior after loosening the shocks like that to fit the exhaust?
