Zs'd frame
 

I am just about finished bagging the back of my 66 step side. I used a rear end from a 77c10 to go 5 lug. I am bagging the front and converting to disc at the same time. I was wondering how many inches I need to Z the frame to make it lay body, and should i remove the engine. Attachment 642676

It depends on tire size, Removing the engine might make it easier but ive seen it done with it in place.

is one of the notches on backwards or is it supposed to be like that?

Re: Zs'd frame
 

They both look right to me,i dont see either one backwards.great looking work,get more pics.

Re: Zs'd frame
 

Its not backwards, I think they sent on odd peice with the notch kit. it was a little longer. Its been fixed since the pic was taken. i had to cut about an inch off the front and add about 1 1/2 inch to the rear to secure it to the frame. I am going to run 20's in the front maybe 22's in rear. I have 2 1/2 inch drop spindle for the front. I think I should only need about 3 inch z to get it there????

I'm not a big fan of Z's, but everything I have read indicates a 3" is the best way to go. Anything more and the steering/motor/etc issues are compounded significantly.

Thats what I have been reading, the 3 inch seems to come with alot less problems.
