Re: [Project] "Fnlow69" PART II

Looks Sweet Justin!!! I am not sure how i missed your updates though. I think i might be going blind by all the welding i have been doing. Don't the frames look so sweet in raw steel form! I wish they would not rust so you could just leave them like that. The front and rear suspension looks great. I do agree with rocklin about some bracing for the bag mounts because all the weight of the truck pushes down on those mounts. One idea that i have is that you can bend a 90* piece of tubing on both sides of the frame and then have another piece connecting the two together and then have a piece pushing down on the bag mounts. That way when the bag inflates it pushes against eachother plus you can use this to support the front of the bed. Just make some mounts off that straight bar and there you go. Solves two problem at once. Here is a rough drawing of what i am talking about. Just an idea so no worries if you don't like it. I thought about doing something similiar for my other frame but without the bars going to the bag mounts for my other frame. One problem we have by doing a raised back half is supporting the front side of the bed because the new floor is has been raised alot. Anyways keep up the great work!
