1)it’s one of the few straight places in the frame
2) the 80 frame isn’t rectangular tubing, it’s two “C” Channel, one slightly larger than the other welded together. there was a factory seam here on the inside that I used and re-welded after shortening
3) the radius arm mount acts like a scab plate on the outside and bottom of the fame
I never claimed to be smart or right! Just how I did it
Yup, done a few myself. I cut them at the rear lower control arm mount. The only issues I see with where you cut it is trans crossmember but that doesn't really matter in your build.

I went through a ton of cut off wheels getting that damn crossmember mount off and out!
Whoever welded it on took his job very seriously!
have a pic of your cut?
thanks
That tank is huge, maybe cut some out and angle it up towards the rear?
@SNLC I give my rig this look a lot too!
i need to read your and @2fpower whole threads!

You need to beef up those transfer case frame mounts.
Why not just relocate the oil filter? Or look for a shorter oil filter? Probably would have made your life easier.
Same deal with the dual transfer cases, what's the deal with the duals vs just a single 4.7?
