It's the same amount of "irreversible" work to cut the frame & raise the steering components slightly (re-aligning them exactly where needed) for the amount of drop offered vs. just cutting the entire front frame as a unit & Z-ing it (thus getting even more drop/clearance).

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... *Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.*
