Hey guys, has anyone one chopped their LW/XOP? I have been contemplating cutting mine down just above the second step and put the versa button about a 1/3 of the way down similar to this screenshot. Questions, comments, concerns?

Do it you will love it. I did that to my wolfs then ended up selling the tubing and making a new set when I knew the size I wanted. I went 18” step I’m 21-1/2” overall.

If u have one movable aider u loose no height u just gain packability and weight savings.

I’m using a 4 step aider I sewed together and I can get 7-8 foot a stick.

everyone has, if you are keeping the single folding step you will have to keep the stock wall tube just a FYI. If your going with the double step you can go with 1/16 wall and save some weight
 
The easiest way to cut them is to turn them upside down, and retain the original versa button position. This basically turns them into lone wolf minis with a single cut. It takes longer to find your wrench and hacksaw than it does to rearrange the hardware and make the single cut.
This is exactly what I did. I have a moveable aider as well but also had extra webbing so two of the 4 sticks have an aider loop tied on. Love them.
 
P.S. theres tons of posts on here about this stuff.
