can you elaborate on your question, on what mounts you are talking about, the one on the frame or on the one on the axle, the one on the frame has to be cut off because if you dont it may hit aginst the arm on a full flex. so if you are talking about the one on the frame the answer is yes.

For the R/E longarm you have to cut off all factory LCA mounts on the frame.

I also had to bend in my rear UCA mounts because the new arms would hit at full stuff. Front upper frame mounts are a non-issue.

Nasvik has a decent writup on his R/E long arm install. http://www.outdoorwire.com/4x4/jeep/reviews/retjlift00/

I've got some pics (in my profile) but no writeup.

I saw some pics of a setup with using the teraflex longarm kit and some home built stuff along with it and now i can't find the pics and the write up on it. The setup was using some skyjacker springs and the tera lower long arms and some home built long uppers. I am trying to do a set up like that, if anyone has any info or pics of it.

Sounds like Shlingdawg, he has 8" skyjacker coils with Tera lowers and custom uppers.
