Guys on the duramax forums like them? Buddy that had the truck just swapped out the original clutch not long before I bought it so it cant be to bad on them

I was going to start tomorrow but my stupid boss is forcing over time
But no Im cutting the weld that's in the middle of the wheel well right about the axle, then im cutting 13 inches out of the back section of the frame, then sliding it back together and re welding, then cutting 5 inches off the very back of the frame. There will be plenty of pics!
