I cut the control arm like this.

then bolted the control arm back on and attached the balljoint and spindle, then put the wheel on and jacked it up until it was where it needed to be then put a few tacks to hold it in place then let it back down to make sure it would still lift up enough then welded it up. Its welded and plated on the backside and welded on the top and ground down.

why did you shorten your control arms for?

I didn't shorten them. I changed the angle of the upper balljoint because they were binding up before I laid out.

All I like now is actually welding in the upper bag bracket and plumbing and wire it up.
