Default Sway Bar Hitting Exhaust

Has anyone else had this problem? I just noticed it after putting my wing and some other things on my truck.

Is there a solution or do I just live with it?

If the answer is live with it, wouldn't that wear out/melt the plastic sway bar piece?

It's a Tekno sway bar kit.

Got any pics? Have you tried moving the exhaust up a little higher on the hanger? What part is hitting?

It's hitting both rods from the sway bar where they connect to the rockers.

How do you move up the exhaust?

I'll try that first and see if it helps.

Look on the back of the exhaust were it mounts to the metal hanger, the screw that screws into the exhauset clamps onto that metal hanger. The hanger is silver. Loosen that up and push the pipe up a little higher. Just make sure the pipe doesn't fall out of the blue exhaust seal when you move it.

You can also adjust the pipe even further by loosening the hanger from the body mount.

I did that and now it seems fine but I'm not sure if it's rubbing the body.

Does that matter?

Yea it matters, You'll end up melting your body. If you think its too close, then lower the exhaust a little more. If its not touching or too close, you should be fine.
