Ok, how I did mine was just to cut out the area around all four bolt holes and of course the CV hole and slide the piece down vertically, then weld in a 2" spacer. I retained the curvature and meat on both sides of the piece, so I guess mine was a little different than both. The advantage mine had was having all the holes line up flawlessly since they are the factory originals. This saved time laying out and drilling new holes, and I don't end up with extras that go unused. I didn't have to clearance anything either. I'll talk to Clint tonight to see if he'll throw up some pics.
