I don't think there is a right spot,as long as you cut were the frame is strait under or right behind the cab.Just keep your cuts away from the arched sections of the frame. I cut mine were the cab mounts are and the center cross member was located so I could cut out some rust that had pited the frame from mud and salt sitting from past winter driving. I just moved my crosss member forward 12 inches and bolted it back in
