Raising The Muffler

On a previous post someone had mention an idea to put a 3" clamp around the rubber grommet and tighten it to raise the muffler so that it can be even on both sides. I did that last night and it worked, however because of the clearance for the clamp it hits against the frame therefore when you go over bumps you hear it hitting. For those of you that've tried this is there something else I needed to do to prevent that? Thanks in advance for your responses

Would it be possible for you to post a picture or diagram of exactly were you put the clamp? Please?

Thanks

I put the clamp right over the rubber grommet that hangs from the hook on the frame.

Have your dealer adjust the muffler next time you go there for service.
