Crossmember or Z. You would not do both.

I understand the z, but what is involved in the crossmember drop?

Re: getting layed out

i am wondering about zing the frame too. is there a tread that has some step by step instructions about how this is done?

also, does zing still require steering mods?

thanks,
brandon
