You need to spin the clamp around so the nuts are facing the floor pan and not the beam....

if you spin the clamp 180 degrees its gone be knocking on the floor pan.
turn it 90 degrees or try moving the clamp or exhaust so its got more space away from the chassis of the car

Lowering shouldnt affect it anyway if it's the exhaust on the bumper as they will still be as close as they were before to each other

Ive had a sebring 6x4 oval for over 2 years now and have exactly the same problem, especially when ive got 2 or 3 friends in the back, or if i hit a big pot hole goin too fast.
Ive been back to the garage that fitted it for me loads of times for new clamps etc, but unfortunetely nothing seems to fix the problem!
Please let me know if you find something that fixes the problem

Use a Jubilee clip instead of an exhaust pipe clamp?
