Endlink mounts - cut off.
Big tower mount on the top that you didn't paint - cut off.
Mount on the front of the axle (on the fill plug side) - cut off.
You want to leave the spring perches, steering stops and possibly the shock mounts. Everything else gets cut off.
If you are adding knuckle ball braces you'll need to cut off the shock mounts and add new ones.
Take some old Grade 8 bolts, cut them to fit in the steering stops, jam them in there and then cap them top and bottom.

Add those while you can. I didn't and it woulda been so worth it when I could have (Though I will now) Your stearing will put that axle through hell so any bracing you can get will help. If the Wabbit sells it, get it from him. If not get it from Front Range off Road (IMHO) Originally Posted by waskillywabbit

I would definitely gusset those knuckle balls..... If you need help I have some good ideas..
and you can also trim the lower part of the spring perch on the passenger side like this>>> There are "tabs" left to hold the u-bolts in place.....
so it slides over rocks instead of catching...
