z the frame? are you serious? i'm in the process of a b2k bag job and i've got sclades, and i'm just gonna modify my lowers and uppers to lay out and not bind balls.

what i'm getting at is that it will only lay out on the front crossmember not the frame.
then again...you can always "file down" the crossmember until your nuts and bolts that hole it together are ready to fall off.

ahh, makes sense now, didn't realize the front crossmember was that much lower.

cutting it up to the control arm bushing and replating the bottom of the pirches will lay frame no need to z re palting the sides and make new bolt hole and a cross member
