bmr torque arm installed .....problem with ride height

I just installed a bmr torque arm but where the crossmember dips down to clear the exhaust i have about 2-3 inches from the ground ..hell it scrubs when i pull into my driveway ....I have a set of coil spring isolators for the rear they'er supposed to raise it up 1 inch .. but i'm not sure that will be enough ..any ideas on how to raise it alittle more? Thanks in advance

Sorry but you are out of luck. Unless you are creative with fabricting skills to cut it and rebrace the support bar up over the exhaust and flat against the floorboard. The BMR design is not good on a lowered vehicle especially because of this problem.

you could always put your old stuff back in the car untill you figure out what to do.
