Re: Z frames and shaved handles

Thanks guys. I haven't done much on her lately - been off work for 5 months after cutting all the tendons in my forearm. Looking forward to being able to get back into it. Salazar44, Z'ing the frame is when you cut just behind the crossmember and just in front of the crossmember, and then lift it to your desired height, between 2 and 4 inches and then re-weld. If I was to do it again though, I would buy a dropmember from porterbuilt who is a sitemember here.
