I made my frame cuts for my Z at a 20 degree angle. I figured that a 2 1/2 inch Z at 20 degrees will move the front wheels (and everything else) forward just a hair less than an inch. Also I figured it would be a stronger connection. I laid out my cuts and tacked a fence for my saw so I would have a perfectly straight cut that would need no grinding. My thinking was it would be alot easier to line up the two pieces and I was right. Piece of cake.
