Make no mistake, this is a suckiest part of installing control arm brackets.
Use a cut off wheel on an angle grinder or high speed air grinder. Then put on a grinding wheel and grind off small bits if you wish.
I tried a sawzall for part of it, and it was a PITA.

Yup... I've gotta plate the rails, truss the front and rear, weld the brackets on the rear and many other things.... It'll be a while.

My weapon of choice was a sawzall, with 4.5 cutoff wheel for support, both off in less than an hour. The right blade is key.
Here's a link to my Build. http://www.tnt4x4club.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=290
Here is a sequence pic of where I made my cuts, same for both sides.

Pick up a dust mask also. Thats a lot of grinding near your face and who knows whats in the china made grinding disks. Probably parts of political prisoners!
