Cutting the frame for Fabtech lift kit

Anyone have pictures of the cuts? I'm about to do this and don't want to mess it up. The drawing in the directions isn't the greatest.

Any help would be appreciated!!

You talking about the cuts on the driver side? where you chop the cross member pocket off? I don't have any pictures of it, after the cut and before anything was bolted up, what i did was stick to the directions on the side facing back, and then just ran strait from that across the top and vertical across the other side, you should be in the clear if you do that

yeah its an easy cut but at the same time your cringing hoping you done it right. Funny because after we did the cut I went to grab some beers out of the car and when I came back my buddy thought the other side had to be done aswell....let me tell you I just caught him in time and my sphincter tightened up like no ones business lol
