Hey guys! Finally ordered my lift and is on the way! Zone 6/5 lift.
My question is regarding the tie rod end cutting. When trimming the tie rod. What did you guys find was the best method and tool to use when doing this? Thanks in advance!

Use a cut off disc on an angle grinder, cut through very quickly. Then just clean up the threads. If you leave a nut on there when you cut it just removing the nut afterwards helps straighten out the threads. Good luck, I installed mine last January.

I used my cordless bandsaw. Best tool for cutting anything with threads.
