Hi Rick,
Yes, cut off existing housing ends and install new GMR C6 End.
No the install is not recommended without GMR-TX system or by GMR-TX builder.
C6 Flange End Kits will need to be purchased through the GMR builder whom will be performing the install.
Now with that being said there are a few variables to whether or not you will be able to obtain your exact existing wheel mount surface.
The biggest variable is what length flange end your current housing has. For example Curry has a Big Ford end that measures approx. 1-1/4" from weld side to axle flange side, were as Art Morrison has a Big Ford end that measures 2". The Curry "End" is able to be cut off and almost obtain your existing WMS but would fall approx. 1/4" short per side. The Art Morrison end once cut off will shorten your WMS by approx. 1" per side.
So you will see, depending on how long your current "end" is will affect WMS with new system.
BUT, we are already working on a cost effective solution that will guarantee you can obtain current WMS. Sure it would be easy to just add material to the length of the C6 End on the "welded side" to gain distance..... but that is additional material cost/machine time and believe it or not these bad boys are machine time intense. We have a couple things we are working out right now so keep your fingers crossed!
Let me know how long your flange end is. Hope this info helped. Please do not hesitate to ask questions.
Thanks, Jay
