Cutting Out Long arm crossmember area of Frame stiffeners????
So, Im about to install a long arm kit from Froehlich Suspension with mounts that confrom to the frame rail. I also have HD offroad frame stiffeners to install. Im thinking about sectioning the frame rail stiffeners so I don't run into a lot of fitment problems with the lower arm mounts/crossmember.
Woud I be losing a lot of the effectiveness of the stiffeneres doing this??? or would the gains be little from leaving them whole?
what are the thoughts????

put the long arm kit on then split what you need to with the stiffeners cuase if your kit is anything like my rustys long arms then you should be good

your frame will be fairly fine as is... its not gonna hurt the frame stiffeners to notch em a little bit for the long arms... get some pics up for our entertainment and show em off
