Opinions before I start cutting!
Hi all, I am getting ready to Z my frame thanks to all the help I have gotten on this forum. Before I cut I wanted to see if everyone thinks this looks right. I leveled the frame, Measured back from the cross member and made a vertical line as seen in the photo(sorry its dark but it wouldn't let me upload the other ones). Then I made 2 horizontal lines. The bottom horizontal line will be brought up to the top horizontal line giving me a 4 inch drop. After you cut your frame how did you line up and support the front clip to tack everything up? Thanks again for the help!, Mark

Re: Opinions before I start cutting!
Get some cheap scissor jacks from a dodge caravan they will help you level the front end once it is cut. They are the best alot of junk yards will let you have them. Or you can take some tubing and make some legs. The big thing MAKE SURE IT IS NICE AND SQUARE! Then cut and don't look back.

Re: Opinions before I start cutting!
Is your cab on or off?
