If you have that little faith in your welding you best not attempt frame work. I believe the stress should be spread over a large area for less chance of a stress related failure.
A friend has used the "Z" method that has been described above with sucess on tractor trailers.
I would say any weld is weaker than uncut steel but the discussion at hand is shortening a frame ,Z gets my vote.
