Hi there recently changed from fe2 rear springs 2 king springs & now the exhaust rubbers on the rear muffler keep coming off so i zip tied it but they broke so atm its supported by jubilee clamps which hav been ok but do snap from time 2 time. If anyone has had this issue b4 & hav found a good solution please share. Thanks!

Sounds like it needs some shocks to stop the rear bouncing so much. The little exhaust hanger bars should have little clips on the end to stop the rubber mounts from sliding off too.

So you've lowered it and the rear system is now hitting on the axle shaft or other suspension parts. Wheres about's is it hitting, if you don't have a welder maybe an easy fix would be to take it to an exhaust place and they could apply heat to the pipe and bend it so no more wackamo. Maybe by changing the hanger configuration you could get clearance or maybe heating and bending the tail pile hangers to suit and changing the rubber lengths would do the job.
