Default Dropping Rear

How hard is it to drop the rear and will it give me enough clearance to pull my exhaust out the back? What is involved with dropping the rear? Thanks.

Why do you need to pull your exhaust out? Are you trying to preserve your stock catback? You can just cut it.

To lower it your gonna have to unbolt the swaybar, shocks, quad shocks, upper control arms, then you should be able to drop it down....you are probably going to have to detatch your ebrake lines to. I think thats everything....I forget the details....I did this a few months ago to install my suspension.

im actually trying to get the exhaust out so i can burn the fiberglass out of my glasspacks....the pipes will not separate for anything. So i figured that i would see if i could pull it out through the back. Unless someone can tell me how to get these pipes apart another way
