Torsion Bracket Question

cutting the section out just above that red circle doesn't seem too safe. have you ever followed that piece, just to notice that your lower control arm crossmember is attached to the other side? and your lower (load bearing) control arms and the weight of the truck rides on that hacked out piece of frame and crossmember.... it'll prolly be fine. what am i trippin about?

I think he means that part of the arm. I trimmed mine up today to clear the frame. It seems safer than cutting the frame. But what do I know. I don't do this for a living or anything.

yeah i know, but the section that's already cut out is what i'm talking about.

You're supposed to cut that out, and then plate it up. Thats how I did my Toyota, and thats how I'm doing the Mazda.

word

as long as you're not going to leave it open like that. plate away...!!

say when i get my front bag kit does the top bag mount need to be shorten, im talkin bout the over all length from the frame outwards, does it stick out to much or does it just look to long from online or the mag

It needs to be trimmed up. I cut mine 3 inches from the center bolts on the bags. But you will need to measure for your specific application.

are you guys talking about the peice cut out of the lower control arm or the peice that run vertically up to the shock tower.. i have them both cut on my truck have to weld some sort of support on my LCA cause it seems to swist a little now

no im talking about the bag mount it
