I've seen a lot of guys do this, but it looks to be the side of the frame rail. But is there any side affects? I have my wolfe 6point rear bars (shortened a little) on the 6x6 plates right over the top of the coil and on the edge of the metal for the shock. So its stronger then the stock area. I don,t need the extra room, my 28x10.5 fit with cutting the lip to were the bumpstop bolt holes are. But heard they weigh 4-5# a side, so would like to loose that.

It looks like a integral part of the car to me...some things should stay...that's one of them.

The frame rail is the boxed section that runs on the inboard side of the spring. It's the spot that all the BMR anti roll brackets are welded onto in all the pictures here.

not really look at chevelledave pics. over the coil its only 3/4inch tall boxed. To not boxed at all were the shock mounts, just flat.
if you cut the side off. Then is just has a inside and a top, no outside.

Back from the dead!! What are you guys using to cut this with? I started using a cut off wheel and was working mighty hard... Thinking jig saw with metal blade?

I just used a cut off wheel on a little grinder, worked fine but I did go though quite a few wheels.

ended up keeping it, just have a 6x6 plate over the coil up to the front corner on the shock hole metal. If I had some tube going to the back more I would

When we did the deep mini tubs on my car we cut so far in that the hole the shock attaches to, is no longer there lol. Car has a 25.3 cert in it with cool overs moved inside the frame rails and a wishbone that's tied to the chassis, everything is tied into the chassis as well... So the frame rails are just there for the ride.

Point is that you can cut that away, if you have a roll bar in the car tied to where the springs and shocks are, and the back of the frame rails as well you should have zero issues. Cutting that out with no rollbar/cage may have long term effects...

And ALL your clutter on the floor.
Still looks that way even with the new car in the garage.
