That is about the lowest it will be at ride height, I think. It will go lower fully dumped, but my driveshaft is smaller in diameter than the piece of exhaust pipe I have sitting in there. Hopefully I don't have any issues, the oval shape pipe is a good idea. I have just been trying to use what I have laying around to save some $$. Good thing is it's just metal so if it's no good, get the grinder out. Thanks for the input, I honestly hadn't even thought about that part of the driveshaft moving. I am going to keep the two piece shaft so will the front part move?
