Thanks in advance. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 | The wood sits 1/2 inch above the frame with new blocks and rubber pads at the high point above the rear end. When I took it apart, I am thinking the wood almost touched the frame. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 23 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 23 | Thanks for the info. I was hopeing the gap was larger so I could have more room for suspension components without putting small tubs. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 975 | 41,
Are you going stock or rod? If you go with your stock bed, the sides don't hang over the frame so tire clearance should not be an issue.
Check out some of my latest webshots and you should be able to see how the tires and bed line up.
If not, let me know and I will take some more shots for you and post em. | | |
