i would try fitting the tires first to see if its needed. If you do need a chop I would buy a grinder for 30 bucks and do it yourself. No one will ever notice if you do the chop so I wouldnt worry to much.

I wouldn't unless you are also a welder. You need to box in the area that you chop off to retain it's strength.
I took mine to a reputable 4x4 custom fabrication shop near my Baton Rouge and they did the job for 138. It is as close to the rubber bushing as allowable, is round (instead of some jobs that look like they just sawed off the piece that sticks out and slapped some flat steel on it), and looks factory.
I would NEVER allow my dealership to do this unless they have done custom fab and welding jobs a ton in the past. I would require seeing previous work by them before you just let some HS drop out start welding on your frame.
