From what I remember, the clip is cut horizontally, where the frame curves down behind the cross-member. The truck frame is cut in a curve to match. The most important thing to remember is, Measure, Measure, Measure, then cut (and hope you measured correctly).
Are you planning to change the rear axle as well?
Good luck
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
