You can cut the bump off of the lower control arms and reinforce it or you can cut a small portion of the frame out where the lowers would hit. Sorry no pics on hand

cut out around the spring perch, notch the frame for tierods, and notch the frame for the lower control arm to come up higher.

notch out a little portion of the frame where the rear of the control arm comes up

or plate the arms, like i did mine, you may have to notch for tierods as well or trim your bag cups 1/4", all depends on what's hitting/binding
