smashing it sounds a bit ruff lol. with 6 inch im gessing its a bit of a wepon so id consider finding yourself a local fab shop and getting a custom one made up or im gessing sum1 probaly sells one. id steer clear of smashing or chopping the factory 1 could brake it.

if your handy with a grinder and welder you could notch a section out and put a piece of pipe cut in half back into it. but if its rubbing at ride height might not give you enough. i need to take a skim off mine in a shorty with a 4 inch as it rubs at full droop just a tad

don't bother with the pipe, just plate it. The outside section left from the pipe does nothing, so why not cut it right off.

CAn you turn the shaft around like people do with the rear tail shafts when lifting the patrols so the skinny/slide bit is over the cross member
