not necessarily, but your motors gonna be closer to the hood, could be a problem.

I like to drop the motor the same amount as the Z. This way it stays at the same angle as stock.

Its easier if you pull the motor, but not necessary.

Heres a how to on Z'ing.

Don't want to be dumb or anything, but what is the purpose of Z'ing the frame? I've never heard of this before.
