Re: Not sure what to do about my z'd Frame

Maybe the shadows or maybe because its 5 am in the morning but am i wrong to say that yor truck with a 6 inch z isnt sitting on the concrete flat out. Or is it slammed right into mother earth at least with respect to the cab. I z'd mine 4 inches, lowered the rad support friday as well and my bumper is eating up the floor hard you cant fit a piece of paper between the 2.. I gotta sneaky suspicion that when i throw my cab back on for the first time it's gonna be slammed real hard. I trimmed 2 inches off the bottom of frame,box tubed it in for reinforcement and left cab mounts where they were. I wonder if my pinch welds are going to be bye bye.Ill have to setitup on something like a piece of wood under the tires and see.

Anyway by the way youre truck looks killer bro, keep on keepin on, shes a head turner foresure.

I would set some boards under the tires to see how high you can get the tires off the ground and keep the body on earth. I say this because mine set down hard into the rockers with the 3" Z(no pinch weld). Its funny when the body is on the ground and you can pick your wheels off the ground.
