I have a used one in the garage and wondering what all has to be cut and does anything have to be welded?

Thanks

This is for the 6" fulldrop kit, not the knuckle kit. Alot of cutting but only the one plate has to be welded at the rear drivers side lower control arm mount. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

that looks like alot of work Rick, I might just sell it and get a 4" tuff country

It is not the hardest to install, just very time consuming. It all depends whether you want a fulldrop kit or knuckle kit.

Check out the tuff country install folder as well in there. I did a 6" tuff country on my bro-in-laws gmc and it was a much easier install! And as far as knuckle lifts go, the tc only pushes the front tires out 3/8" each side which is the least of all knuckle lifts. We still had to trim the front valence to avoid rubbing the 35"s on his. So it all depends really what tire size you want to run. And we didn't crank his torsion bars at all, just returned them to where they were set before.

I am not worried about ease of install but more of cutting stuff off that cant be put back on. All I want to clear is 33's on 16x10s with the tbars all the way down

I am more woried about what gonna hold up under 600hp hooked to a sled and by looking at the steering drop and such I just dont know if it is gonna cut it

Oh if I had it to do again, I would definitely choose the TC lift...now as far as pulling a sled and reliability, I can't offer much info there. There are a bunch of guys doing it with lifts on this site, hopefully someone will chime in with more info on that...
