Re: How to shorten a LWB frame

For those with leaf spring frames, I think we have been able to determine that there should be no issues with shortening a LWB leaf frame. Since the main cut is done under the cab, the rear suspension would remain in place just as the coil suspension would. So measure, cut, roll forward, weld. Then get the right measurements for the driveshaft as usual.
