Gonna start Z'ing the rear end pretty soon, been reading up a lot and a lot on it. plan on doing 2" or 1 3/4" so I can have a place for the four link bars that will be happening soon as well

my inspiration and a good bit of studying came from Tre5's build and pictures

dam man ya that is looking good i would use 1/4 but some say it may be overkill.

Rather be over kill than have the frame twist or snap on you 1/4 is the way to go

And to add to my previous statement i have read on many forums it is better to use the 1/4 inch on z's and notches for the strenght then to use anything else
so yep you right v8

In the pics above the only thing I would have done is make the plates longer and box the frame on all 4 sides

I'm assuming since the first sentence says that he going to start z'ing the rear clip soon that he hasn't done it yet and those are pics of tre5's setup?

Thats what he writes at the top that its Tre5's work that inspired him to Z his frame

yep you're right..although it will be identical and actually an inch shorter than those. Hopefully just as nice though. But I getting the steel and the bars this week...will keep posted.
