I'm Z'ing my 52 Ford F1 stock frame. Ive mocked up about 6" in the front. Havent finished the rear yet. I was just wondering how much Z people have in their frames. And maybe how much clearance you have from the ground to the frame under the cab. Thanks!

each one is frame/ build specific. it all depends on what type of suspension you have, wheels, engine, and ride height. most of my builds have a 4 inch in the front and the rear is always different depending on suspension and vehicle
 
Mock up is going to be important to determining what your gonna need. I only needed about a 7" rise because I was bagging the rear axle but if it had been leaf or coil over it would have to be a lot more to get it down low.Your gonna have to decide how low you can go and be safe and then how much room your gonna need to tuck it all under frame.Good luck.
