No doubt it would look better than a Z, and be more structurally sound. It will also help with the resale value of your truck. I know I would much rather buy a truck that the frame had not been cut unless I could verify the integrity of the build.

I agree 100%! Now I am a certified welder (20+yrs) and I have been fabricating chassis for almost as long as well as major body mods. I also have a full laser sited frame table right in the center of my shop so doing a perfect Z'd frame is easy for my with out a doubt. The reason I mention this is just to show I have the 1) ability, 2) the tools, 3) the shop space and time but what did I do Monday but send my $1099 (DM + shipping) off to Nate for my 3/4ton 4dr Burb DropMenber
One key point people are forgetting is not only the price is great but also you get much better handling than a Z'd frame. The geometry has been changed just a bit to account for the vehicle being lowered so much as well as the rack and pinion being added and that is a biggy! Stock trucks have 6 steering /control arm joints to all add just a bit of slack to the steering feel even if they are new. With a R&P you now have 2 and this gives a much better feel and response!
I will be doing a How-To write up for the Burb install from start to finish with a 5.3 Vortec and the DropMember just to show how easy it is for anyone wanting to see it done or who has any questions about how easy it really is!
