im looking for more info on Z-ing the frame on my '72.
ive read and searched around and learned a few things, but how is a crossmember drop, and does it go along with the Z?

Crossmember or Z. You would not do both.

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

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
