Placed the bed on the newly fabricated mounts and it fits very well. Mounted the wheels on a spare suburban rear axle to mock it up. Frame is sky high in the front, but I think this will be my rear ride height. The wheels look great and are the perfect width on the newer axle. Last picture shows what the tire does at full dump. This gives me 3 inches of suspension travel. Since I can raise the pressure for a heavy load, I don't need any rake to compensate for a load. I think 3 inches of travel is enough, anyone have any insight on this?
