I started out by getting it in my shop and tearing it apart…  
Ripped the upper and lower control arms off and started to mock up the air bag setup …tubular control arms going in etc…

I notched the front frame so that the TieRod could fit into it (and so i could lay the front crossmember on the ground when fully dumped)  
All the work you see is just mock up… I will be edging all the cut metal and reinforcing later on.

I had to chop the rear control arm mounting points as well as the upper spring perches to make way for the wheels and the step notch
