Default Re: au rear live axle SL suspension bottom out

Put in new Ultima Heavy Duty Lowered shocks today.
They're much bulkier than the standard shocks.
Went for a drive, seemed to feel a bit better ride.

Still getting what I though was bottoming out.

However when I was under the car I took a good look at things under there.
I've aways thought the exhaust and muffler hangs pretty low. It;s a 2 1/2" redback cat back system. I noticed there is a bit of a mark on the exhaust straight above the rear axle, It now seems as though when the rear end flexes downwards and the body and exhaust get lower the exhaust actually makes contact with the axle housing.

The rubber exhaust hangars look a bit tired also. So it looks like I'll need to have the exhaust tucked up a little higher and possibly some new hangars.

Has anyone else had this issue?
