Re: 3"z
How far down will it sit with a 2.5 and will I have to cut the trans tunnel or any other mods?

Re: 3"z
You should lay frame with that. You will need to raise the trans tunnel and possibly notch the rear of the cab slightly.

Re: 3"z
Is going 2.5" compared to 3" going to make me regret not going 3" later on for any reason I want it to be hammered!

Re: 3"z
Heres a link to a tech article on doing a 3" Z on a 1986 Chevy frame. It also includes cutting 1.5" off the bottom of the frame under where your feet are to lay pinch weld with no body drop. Plus theres also a trans crossmember as well. The inner side of the frame are plated as well.
