You can easily cut 12 inches out of the frame in between the 2 cab mounts. I think the kit uses a locator hole. The OP said he didnt remove the bed? The bed will need to be removed in order to cut the front bed mount off. As far as the drawing, it will probably work. I dont have a framerail in front of me right now. But 12" of straight frame is 12" no matter where. Another couple of things to consider. The cab needs to be lfted enough in the rear to slide the frame brace under the back pinch weld area of the cab bottom. Secondly, and very important, the "stffeners" also act as guides when sliding the frame back together. Take your time. It is some good instruction.
