99 to Life, thank you. It makes life so much easier this way. Plus with raising the bed I can add my stand off right to the cross braces.

chev3600, it does workout really nice. And it is simple to do.

I must have lost 10 pounds today sweating. It is hot here. I finished up making the cross braces this morning and then started on the bed. I clamped my side pieces of tubing to the bed sides to see that the bed side were really wavy. I drilled 5/16 holes in the bed sides to plug weld the tubing on. Which it did pull them flatter. I still will have some shrinking disc work to do yet. Then squared up the bed and installed my cross braces and the tapped plates. I put 4 cross braces in. So with the way I did it the bed can be disassembled. I still have to make the rear part of the bed where the bed wood sets on and the raised filler piece goes. It is also getting a trail hitch had that will be behind the custom roll pan. So here are some pictures.
