Special Note: Tuff Country does not recommend using a
torch when making this cut. Tuff Country recommends
using a die grinder to make this cut. The stock gas line
runs on the inside of the stock frame rail, take special
care not to cut the stock gas lines. Also when making
this cut, take special care not to cut into the stock frame
rail. Clean up any exposed slag from the trimming per-
formed in this installation step.
