can i make a suggestion? lay pinch... not rocker. your rockers are not as strong as the pinch. every square ive seen that lays rocker is beat up because they lay on sheet metal. A small rock, uneven pavement, cruising the street too low all those can mess up your body. but the pinch is actually a structure support that prevents all of that. plus, its a definitive line that boldly shows off how low the truck is when laid out. another thing is when you remove the pinch you actually allow the truck to follow the body line when aired out. which makes your truck look like the front is sitting higher than the rear. (ugly IMO) but, when you leave the pinch the truck lays out only on the pinch to the front of the bed. keeping the truck level.

hope what im trying to say makes sense.


here is a picture of one of my old trucks that i went to pinch on


and here is one that lays rocker. notice how the bed sags
(also, this truck is still badass... im just relaying my personal view)
