Z'ing the frame raises the steering and the suspension, but raising the steering the additional 1 1/4" was due to the crossmember pancake. The drag link was hitting the lower control arms at full droop.

I know some people seem to have success with a 1 1/2" crossmember drop and stock steering, but when I cycled everything through full travel I was having interference.
