Default Fbody LTs on Truck = Tons of Cutting

not sure if this is for all of em but the hooker LTs will NOT fit on even a 2wd unless your willing to trim em up.

the passenger side isnt bad... we ended up rolling one of the tube walls in just like an 1/8" just to get it away from the frame more for when the motor moves

the driver side.. thats a diff story, we had to cut 3 of the 4 tubes and reroute them just to clear the xmember, they all need moved back about 1.5" because of hte radius that they had

now im sure most of you guys just buy them for the trucks anyways but i got a good deal on these and figured id give em a shot, as i said this is for the hooker LTs, im sure diff companies have diff routing as i think Quik ran Kooks fbody LTs and i dont remember him having this problem at all
