Skid plate & exhaust spacer issue

Had a transmission-oil skid armor installed on my jkur and it ended up hitting the exhaust pipe creating vibes. So the temp solution was (shim) adding a spacer. However for the pipe not to contact they used a half inch spacer causing me to lose clearance? Any ideas?

Maybe try looking into the AFE Y pipe kit. It might move everything out of the way. But smarter people than me should confirm.

Do you have the exhaust spacer, if so you will need spacers for skid plate

I have that AFE kit but proteck skids and everything works perfectly. The AFE kit does a great job getting the pipe away from the driveshaft boot.

Remove the exhaust spacers and get a drive shaft. Problem solved!

Just curious what driveshaft yall have been picking up. I was going to go the exhaust spacer route at first but I know replacing the driveshaft is the better option here as the lift puts more strain on the factory driveshaft anyway.
