How to Z a frame

Z'ing the frame on a 2001 ford ranger and modifying it to fit a 1966 f100 how to Z a frame Part 1 I start off measuring the frame and where I want to put my cut and cut and relocate the k member section higher so that it fixes the camber on my suspension to align the steering angles better

Chris Foutch I love that thing, works great long as your using one at a time ;)

We do Z, L and straight cuts on semi trucks but all three cuts always receive a short section of frame inside for a double frame. We stretch semi trucks and have never had a failure, but I'd never trust any frame splice without a second inner frame piece, not a pickup or semi

It has to have a gusset on both sides on truck frame to strengthen it. That’s just for half ton

Wouldn't this technically extend the wheel base?

[@1194video]

Not when the front section is also cut at reverse angle to keep core support holes correct. I wanted to extend my wheel forward .5 inches so slanted it more than usual to center the wheel bettee
