15.Next, Jeff took our second-favorite tool, the plasma cutter, and went to work on the section of the frame between the notch that needs to be removed.

16.Once the frame was cut out, Jeff hammered out the middle section.

17.Now the rearend can be buried more than 6 inches deeper into the frame, allowing the lowest part of the frame to lay on the ground with the help of the four-link already installed.
