thanks, cool! id honestly go farther on the "Z" than do the crossmember raise too, this only because when you have the frame cut for the "Z" just move it up another inch and you are there, where if you move the crossmember up you also need to realise you have just changed your front suspension geometry. if you do not raise the steering up the same distance.. you run the chance of bump steer, or unwanted toe in or toe out gains throught the range of motion.
with the "Z" everything stays factory geometry, just raised..
just my 2cents
