I'm currently doing the same but I need help on this one. It is an 08 cage with the lock and ride cab and I have most definetly got to lower my center of gravity.. My plan is to cut the bend out just before it mounts behind the seat. I can deal with modifing the cab and doors , but need to know just how much above and below the bend I need to cut to get a 5inches chop. It caint be as complicated as people make it out to be...
