A BDS Exhaust Extension Kit is required for proper driveshaft clearance after installing a lift kit on your 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. When installed, this kit adds clearance between the front driveshaft and the passenger's side exhaust crossover tube. Precision CNC-machined DOM steel tube spacers fit tightly to the factory exhaust flare joints which ensures no exhaust leaks while still maintaining adjustability. New hardware is included. The bolt-on design is completely reversible. This kit is a required accessory for BDS JK lift kits and is probably a critical add-on for other brands of suspension systems on the market where exhaust-to-driveshaft clearance is an issue.
Important Notes
For BDS lift heights of 4.5" and up, the front driveshaft should be replaced for proper clearance as well as increased range of motion at the transfer case end.
