I would recommend you put 3 or 4 good sized boys in the back and then
jump up and down on the back bumper to see just where that tail pipe is
tagging. Edge of the gas tank is my guess.

My thought about the leaf springs, too. My CJ sounds like it's
cracking it's knuckles when the weather is right, and took me a couple
