Research Response: MOTOR stated:
After performing an operation analysis, we have determined that the muffler and tail pipe can be replaced without R&I of the shocks, sway bar links, track bar, spare wheel, and vent tube. Instead, the exhaust assembly can be partially lowered through D&R of the hangers, allowing enough access to the muffler for replacement purposes.

No changes required.
