Driver's rear shock hitting exhaust

[Mastiff]

With the 14b swap the shock won't even hook up, but I can tell the shock has been rubbing the pipe for a while. Am I doing something stupid, or is there a way to route the pipe to avoid this? I'll need to reroute my Y-pipe anyway, so I'm ready to do this right, but I can't really think of a good alternative. Unless just going to passenger side will do it?

EDIT: It looks like passenger side routing is probably the ticket. Plenty of space to get behind the shock. I plan to route my Y pipe close to the front crossmember, still under the front shaft but nearly under the CV so it should clear at all angles.

I just had my exhaust moved for the same issue.

Yeah. Move the exhaust.

I used new shock mount tabs and positioned them where they wouldn't hang below the axle and wouldn't hit my exhaust (duals). It was close though. Unless you feel like doing this, just reroute your exhaust for clearance.

Your truck is starting to come together, by the way. Lookin good.
