any way to get lower in the front?

ok so ive finally started spending some time with the 63 shortbed again. got my handles shaved, fixed front fenders and started molding the tailgate and rollpan to the bed. im startin to do some research for my suspension setup and i know the factory crossmember creates a problem up front if i want to get really really low (which is the goal of this entire project). i've looked at the porterbuilt stuff and i know its good stuff but on my budget i cant really afford to drop the money for thier crossmember.... ive heard of a couple guys z'ing the front but i honestly am not sure about what the entails? will i have to chop up my firewall and tranny hump? i dont mind reworkin those if i can get around the expensive crossmember because the cabs not pristine. ive got my notches for the back and that whole situation figured out i'm just a little leary about up front. the trucks not gonna be a show truck, just something laid out with everything shaved and some other custom bodywork (because thats what i do for a living ) any help and advice would be appreciated since this is my first time actually puttin a truck on the ground correctly, cause i guess torchin my coils in the garage isnt considered politically correct lol thanks guys
