When mine was done the axel was supported on stands and a prop in each corner at back of body work.cut then remove body mount.what rails have you got.have you a new crossmember.

i dont have a new x member i mainly need to do the legs but want to cut it all off together then weld whole thing in one if possible

I had a new crossmember.what he did was cut from crossmember one leg then from mid crossmember.he then tacked 1 new leg in place so it lined up with old chassis rail.tacked a couple of braces from new to old once happy it lined up removed brace from old rail remaining.cut off last rail with crossmember,tacked new leg to braces fitted to new leg,then tacked in crossmember, tacked on body mounts.once he was happy it all lined up he cut it off where tacked to front crossmember.once back on the ground he full welded to crossmember and body mounts.fitted back up tacked back to front crossmember and welded.on the inner he welded a piece of angle iron and fishtailed joins on the outer sides.
