Fredrich -
Fifteen years ago I rebuilt the suspension complete with new rear springs on
my BJ8, and also worked to get the exhaust firmly installed just under the
floor boards (w/o touching the chassis) and I can tell you I have not had
any problems with scraping my exhaust, even with spirited driving. I did
all this because I spent the money to get a SS exhaust. I think in that 15
years I've scraped my exhaust maybe two times, lightly (no damage). Speed
bumps are never a problem (i.e. my shocks are working properly).
If you are dragging exhaust either your pipes aren't mounted properly or
your suspension is worn out.
