Front Driveshaft and exhaust clearance?

I just lifted my burb w/ 4" Black Diamond and ran into the same problem. The driveshaft hits when the pass. side droops and you get a chatter from the driveshaft weights banging on the y-pipe. I'll get back to you when I come up with a fix to it. Any new suggestions???
 
I finally got the saw out, cut the y-pipe and welded in a piece from autozone. Just a bend that I bought for about $3.00. Cut the y-pipe where it comes down on the passenger side near the front drive shaft. Make sure that the section that you cut out is shorter than the new bend, fit up the new bend and weld it in. Gave me about 1 inch of clearance between the shaft and the pipe. Took me about 45 mins total and works great for now.
 
That's exactly what a buddy of mine suggested at work. Did you use just one 90 bend or did you have to use other? this gives me a chance to use my new sawzall...
