I have ART Tubular upper and lower arms on my 97 full size with 2 in. drop spindles and the arms hit the frame when layed out. I notched for the tie rods but anybody got pics. for the notch for the arm. Also has anybody notched the frame and retained the use of the ART shocks that come with the kit? I need about another inch of travel in the front to lay out on 22s.

Pie cut your frame and hammer it up and
re weld it. Thats what i did way cleaner and safer than hacking up your c-arms.
