Or . . .... Another perspective is the Z could be done incorrectly if you didn't know what you're doing or were unfortunate enough to work w/an unscrupulous shop & you could not be able to sell it @ all. Since the Dropmember is a bolt-in deal that only needs the steering notches welded in, a novice w/no welder or welding skills could install one in his truck & take it to his local muffler/welding shop & have the c-notches welded up.

$3500 to 4K is not required to install one of these front crossmembers. If you opt for the full a-arms & such, it could be that much. But the c.member w/later model a-arms can & has been done for 2K (give or take a few hundred depending on your ability to find needed parts @ decent prices).
