'67 C10 Raising bed floor 2"

[traut811]

Hey guys.

I've come to the conclusion I need to raise my bed floor. I have been running no floor for a couple years, because I'm slow when I do things and it gave me a chance to monitor all the work I was doing on the back half of the truck.

I have a wood floor that needs to go in. Realistically my 9" housing would have probably hit the floor at some point, so I put bump stops in to limit this but now I'm hitting the stops on big bumps. I do not want to go higher on ride height.

Is there an "easy" way to do this? I would do 1/2", 1". 2" whatever if theres a certain amount you can go before really crossing the bridge and building framework for everything to go up. I'm just really close and anything would help me out. I don't necessarily plan on going any lower in the future.

I assume my flange around the outside of the bed would need to be cut off and welded up higher where it bolts the bedsides to the wood slats. I am also guessing the tubs need to be cut shorter and the flange moved up on them as well.

Any insight would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance!
