Default exhaust out the back with a flip kit?

has anyone around here found the parts or a way to get the exhaust out the back of a f150 that's running a flip kit? I've been looking for oval tubing that might work to get over the axle, but I haven't come up with anything. I've even considered going under the axle.

Anyone have any experience, pictures or ideas?

Right now everything is dump right before the axle.

Unless it's dropped to the point of having a c-notch it's a non issue....to s of trucks run it out the back including mine. Even if it has a c-notch a shop should be able to tuck the piping up to the bed floor and pass it over the axle.
What's the details on the truck?

well the axle will bump the frame

two local shops said they couldn't do it because there isn't enough room. It's a standard flip kit, but with the overload spring removed and another 1/2'' spacer added to get the desired ride height

Find a competent exhaust shop then. If it's not c-notched you have the height of the frame plus however tall the bed is spaced off the frame to run exhaust through that the axle will never touch. I haven't measured it but figure 4-5" for the frame plus another 1" of stand off....your exhaust shops are incompetent.

well that's what I thought too, but there's a brace for the bed underneath that sits exactly on top of the pumpkin and the rear end housing. In fact I had to notch the brace to keep the pumpkin from bumping against it from time to time. It hangs at least 2" below the bed.

Anyway I was hoping to find something I hadn't thought of, but probably not.
