Bed wood is all bolted down, so I set the cut wheel tubs in place to see what I am going to need as far as width. 3 1/2" is what I come up with. Man it takes a long time to get all of those bolts tightened up.....

Now that I have everything set up as far as weight on the back I need to figure out what I want to do to bring the back down. I will see what I can gain with longer shackles but I don't think I can end up with what I need that way alone. I have a couple of other options but they will be more work......
