Hey guys,

I was going to mention this in another running thread but I did not want to hi-jack his thread. I have already notched my crossmember and now that everything is sitting in place I am just not happy with the stance :( I made the mistake of thinking I could get low enough with just the crossmember, but I am just not low enough. Anyways sinse I did decide to go with the notch over the drop I am going to Use another crossmember I have and then just Z the frame. My question is I hear a lot of people talking about 2" Z's What I am wondering is if I I decided to go with a 2.5 or 3 inch Z. How much more problems am I going to run into? I know my HEI is going to be an issue but I will move it forward and I will be good to go. Also does anyone know how much I can Z the frame with out have to re-do the tunnel in the cab?

I am getting ready to buy a new house and I know the truck is going to take the back burner for awhile so I want to get it rolling before I move so I can move it easily, so I am going finish up the front and back half. So any help will be greatly appriciated!

Thanks
Keith

i just got done doing a 3" on my 69, i think i an 1.5 is the max without raising the tranny hump(dont quote me on that). as for the HEI you should just recess the firewall where it hits thats what im going to do.

Thanks FnLow,

So I am going to have to start cutting metal pretty much no matter what. I need to figure out exactly how much I need to raise it to keep the lower A-arms off the ground even when layedout. I dont mind the frame touching, but I really dont like the idea of my suspension hitting first if something was to happen going down the street.

Time to start cutting :)



Thanks
Keith
