do not cut into the frame rail. You can measure and go in through the floor without having to cut the unibody rail.

I did that on my 95. It works. But now that I know better I'd rather just go in from the floor. Both will work, it's just a matter of opinion I guess. I'd rather fix a small spot in the floor then cut into the "frame"
