thats your opinion, ive seen this done several times around here and they come out better then the kits you buy from superlift and such. its all in the way you do it.

Honestly cutting it and putting it under the origional sounds ghetto I misewell just get the steel and weld my own homemade lift lol. I'm just going with the torsion crank and shackles then I might just add a 2" or 3" body lift because I heard you can use the k5 lift if you make your own bumper brackets.
