I know the concept, you pretty much cut out the hump and weld in a flat piece, but does anyone have pictures of you to do it? where do you need to cut to make sure its enough?

i know u asked for pic, i have non, of course but i just cut the humps to make it completely flat from balljoint to mount. i them plated the cuts and also used 3/16 plate to plate the majority of the bottom for more strength.
pretty straight forward.

sorry i dont have any pics either, but i do have alternet way to get more drop from ur control arms. u can raise ur lower balljoint, this is an easy way to accomplish the same thing. u just cut right behind the balljoint and raise it up about 3/4 and then use some 3/16 plate and reinfoce it as needed i have done this on several trucks and it works well... hope this helps have a happy new year
