I'm going to pick up a couple nice jig saw blades and try that first.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Go slow and let the tool work, lube the blade and don't try to steer it too much.
Also make sure you aren't going to hit anything with the blade like a reinforcement rib or something.
You can also start the cut with a grinder, cut all the way through the metal and then use the jig saw to finish up the corners.
Good luck,
Sean

nice build, curious to see how you like the ARE MX

Love it. You get a couple extra inches of headroom plus a flat roof for mounting roof racks.

Looking for some advice.
The truck has developed a slight shake around 60-70MPH. I feel it most in the steering wheel but I think it is the whole cab shaking.
What I have done so far:
110k miles
Energy Suspension Steering Rack Bushings
Outer Tie Rods
Upper and Lower BJs
LCA Bushings
OME 2" w/ Diff Drop
New tires + balancing
Alignment
My local shop did not have a clue. Toyota dealership appointment in a week.
What should I try in the meantime?

Check and clean the driveshaft carrier and double cardan joint.
You can rebuild them but its tricky and uses special u joints.

Which tires? My KO2 have finally settled out after 5k miles. Shake at 60-65 initially.

Falken Wildpeak AT3. But i have tested some stock michelins on as well and it does not make a difference.

I had been chasing a shake/vibration of unknown origin for a while. I finally gave up and stopped caring. My steering wheel shakes slightly at freeway speeds right now, though I'm not sure why. I just live with it, because I've found that if I get everything super-smooth for the road it just gets knocked back when I go off road.

Have you looked into one piece driveshafts. Tom Woods seems to have a good reputation and are not too expensive.
I'm having my DS balanced Monday, so fingers crossed.

What's the general consensus on diff drops? I installed one when I did my lift, but have heard some people say it's not a good idea on our trucks.

Have had this diff drop on my truck for almost 10 years. Haven't had any issues. What are the typical issues people have?

I can imagine that'd be one heck of a long DS... some benefits, some risks...
RE: Diff drop... three trucks with drops here w/o problems.

Running the same one, I think the main complaint is that it doesn't do much.
I just finished the 4wd swap on my truck so I can't comment for long term.
I will say that when cycling the suspension while tubbing the wheelwells, the cv's start to get stiff at full bump and full droop.
