Are there any lift kits 6" or 8" that do not require cutting the front crossmember?

 

No, not for a 4x4.

 

Actully if i remember correctly the CST kit does not require any cutting.

 

I don't think the Rize asks for any cutting, or was that the Rancho. Check it out I know there is one completely bolton kit.

 

Rize, requires a little bit of cutting just like the fabtech and procomp..

I dont know about the rancho.

 

Actually, the rancho, pro-comp, fabtech, skyjacker, superlift, tuff country, and rize all require cutting. Go to thier website and download the instructions and see for your self. The only one I'm not sure about is the cst 8", but I don't see why you wouldn't, all the others require cutting.

 

What about the Full Traction?

 

Just checked their website, they don't have instructions available on their site. But I did notice that they use a hat to extend the stock coilovers, like the pro-comp does.

 

The reason they all need you to cut is because the front differential has to go right where that piece that you cut off is. The only way you wouldn't have to cut is if you went like 12-14" Then you diff would be under that piece that you cut off.

 

all 4x4 kit u have to cut or else the front differential will not fit in it's new position.

 

Thanks guys, I wondered how high it would need to go to get the diff under the frame, but 12-14" of lift is way to much.
