    I don’t have a “stock” pic cuz it was bagged when I got it, however it was all completely redone after I got it. Here’s a before and after.

    Wow. Super nice truck, glad this thread got bumped.

    Is Z’ing the frame really less expensive than body dropping?

    Z’ing is not the same as body dropping. Z’ing will make the gram lay flat when you’re bagged because the front crossmember hangs lower than the frame.

    I know that.

    I was asking if Z’ing actually costs less than body dropping. Both are a lot of work.

    I know.. again.

    I asked how they compare in price both times, not in difficulty. I’m familiar with both concepts.. but you’re paying a shop it sounds like, and weren’t sure which you were going to do next. Good luck. :rolleyes:

    Z is the best way to get to to lay flat, you can build a new crossmember but Z is very straight forward is it a V6 or a 4cyl? We usually Z these 1.5” and they lay nice and flat
