Are you doing a cut-N-turn for ground clearence or travel?

 

[disturbedgoat21]

i was planning on doing in right behind the lower ball joint seams to be the most simple way to do it

 

[mercurymullet]

I meant the purpose. I used a gusseted 2in drop on mine.

 

[disturbedgoat21]

oh ya its going to be for travle for sure i would like to jump this thing a little

I pull 17. Limited by the hood. Axle would pull almost 20 but wanted low ride height. Cut-N-turn sure does help the up travel, limits down though. Air it out. LOL

sweet ya sadly i say i wanna get air but im in wi so there not much open desert or anything so il probably be stuck with crawling and jeep trails

Mines hard to get in the air. You have to hit it fast.
