Message	but the Z requires custom work. even their kit needs to be modified to fit the cramped confines of the Z. I thought cutting the fenders would have caused the Z to flex more, but after me and a couple of friends looked it over and ran a test we determined that their was no added flex due to the cutting. We determined this by simply running a full scale frame torsional stiffnes test. here's the formula: Torsional Stiffness = Torque/57 degrees x Spread Distance/Deflection we anchored the back and supported the left front corner (then the right front corner) with a jackstand and set up a dial indicator to read the deflection on the unsupported side. we then bolted a 10' long beam to the frame rails (where the aluminum bracket mounts) and added 200 lbs to the end of the beam. read the deflection on the dial indicator and since both sides read the same to +/- .0040" the frame didn't flex more due to the cutting. IMO, the doors on the Z look sweet. I like it and dont give a shit what anyone says... lol...
