Get rid of the body lift would be my suggestion. They are pretty much useless and look dumb because the frame shows so much. Or if you have to have the body lift then run a different exhaust rout. If you have to have the lift and straight out the back exhaust then deal with it looking goofy. Those are pretty much your only options.

Ditch the body lift if its not a lifted 4x4 already.

I've seen a lot people modify their hitches so they look better with body lifts...

If you're good at welding or know someone who is...
