Zing my frame

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what all issues to expect when i z my frame here in a week, Its an 88 b2200. Also i plan on leaving the engine in when i do it.

why are you going to z your frame? you can make it lay completely flat without doin that.

i have owned many mazdas, and have never zd any of them.

but to answer your ?, if your motor and trans is still in, just be careful, when you cut yur frame, the front will be very heavy and loose.
also if you weld on two pieces of metel side by side on your frame where your going to cut, you can use them as a guide for yor sawzall blade.

My crossmember sits lower than my frame. But after going out and looking at it again, I think i could probably just use the ol, concrete file and drag off a little of it. as of right now, it hits before the rest of the frame. Making the truck not lay completely, I would rather it lay without dragging it, so then i know everything is flat prior to starting my bodydrop next week.

one, you can cut your Xmember down if you want (it does un bolt for easy cuting) two, check your swaybar mounts on the frame, they should be cut flush to the under side of the frame, if not the tie rods are prolly binding up with them.

I found my issue with the front, my top bag brackets are too low, bag is bottoming out before the truck lays. I'll move them up this weekend. Stupid me.....cant belive i never noticed that before. Its amazing what you realize doing brakes
