Re: z'd frame?

Myself I'd rather do a pancaked crossmember and drop spindles than Z the frame. Less work, You can get another one from a wrecking yard and do it before you take the one out of your truck, and if you screw it up ya get another one and start over. Once you cut your frame if ya screw it up it turns into a big mess. Your either changing frames or your trying to fix the screwed up one which usually winds up resembeling a hack job. The safety factor falls into play also. A pancaked crossmember dosn't risk the strucural integrity of the vehicle nearly as much as cutting the frame. and you can get the same results.
