Rear Spring Height - Has someone torched these?

Wierd that they are so tight in the middle. Do you guys think someone torched them?

That looks normal and worn. I'd be more concerned with the plate welded to the frame, shorten down lwb?

Re: Rear Spring Height - Has someone torched these?

There looks like a few patch pieces in the frame. It's a LWB.

I am going to take the bed off soon to inspect the frame. I have been pondering building new frame rails like the ones Nolimits does.


I figure I will trace out a pattern while I have the bed off. CAD it up and get it quoted to be laser/waterjet'd. Rather than just patching the cheese....
