no its not z'd yet i think it only takes 3/4" to lay all the way out but most people do 1". ya theres a couple crossmembers that hang below the frame so if you wana lay flat on the frame you gota cut up the two crossmembers. i havent really did much to the truck lately but i did pick this up

are you runing coil springs? post pics of whats going on because you shouldnt need a tall notch just because you have tall cylinders.

He's running airbags. The notch size is to accommodate the wheel size -> large wheels/tires require a large notch.
