i opted to notch my lower arms rather then cut out a bunch more frame. its pretty easy. just make sure you plate them back up!!

Damen.... it may possibly be the back of the lower control arm binding on the frame. I had to trim my frame a hair right where the arm bolts to the frame. basically it was the pivot area of the LCA bound on the frame before the truck laid out. otherwise your upper cup might be too tall.
