I always shorten my own. I cut them, put it together with the joints in phase, tack it back together, install it in the truck and spin it to get it dead on straight, and weld it up. never had one break, and my truck will twist up the frame when I get on it. but if you're not comfortable doing it def pay someone else that can.
