Nothing really new about that procedure except the name "body-dropless" Previously it has been called Z-ing. They are just building a complete frame for it while moving the front/rear suspension UP. It is high though, but you are getting a new frame.

A new boxed frame @ that. Someone needs to start fabbing taller front inner fenders for 73-87's. There's so many lowered trucks out there you know people would buy them . . .... but only if priced like they're not made of gold.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

A body-dropless chassis is not like z-ing...the frame is about half as tall as the stock frame.
