I doubt it, if you are only like 3" you can notch the control arm and just replate it. If you are more then that you will probably need to use a heim and a u-joint.

If you cut it completely out, you should probably use heavy gauge stuff. If memory serves, seth's is 1/8". You probably don't need that heavy tho, but close.

I skinned over my back wall with 16 gauge and plug welded it. I removed that large hump protruding into the cab, which is somewhat structural, so I replaced it with 14 gauge. If I were to do it again, I would do it this way (again) because its simple, clean, and strong.

Looks good BTW. What is your hood hitting on? Usually its the intake elbow or the cap on the valve cover.
