Project '86

With the 22's up front it is up about a 1/2". The back would lay the bumper on the ground if it had one but I left jack stands in the back to keep it level. I could cut the lower arms to recess the bag some but then I am not sure I could get enough lift to clear the wheels. I guess I could always try it, and if it doesn't work out just plate it back up.

I wouldn't worry about it. Laying frame is over rated. Whatever you do I wouldn't let it sit lower in the back when it's laid out.

Yeah as long as it's body dropped and touching the ground, laying frame is over rated. LOL! Just kidding. I like what you did with the front well opening, think I'll do it on my Suburban.

I am very impressed with all the mods you have done with your truck. I love the fender trick especially. How difficult was it to raise the bed floor?

I also noticed that all the pictures were taken outside, and it looks like you don't have a garage. If you're doing all of this stuff out in the weather, then you are truly a maniac! Keep posting pictures!!

Raising the bed floor was pretty easy. Just unbolt it, raise it up, and weld it back in. I went ahead and sectioned the rear fenders so they would fit back in and keep the "stock" appearance.

You are right, I don't have a garage so I am at the mercy of the weather.
