Help... Need Measurement
I am needing to see if a crossmember I made will clear once a bed brace is removed.
Can someone please measure the gap between the top of the frame rails, and the bottom of the bed floor (with cross brace, and without)? I would need this measurement above the axle. I want to know if a 1-1/2" square tube sitting on top of the frame rails will clear under the bed floor. Thanks in advance for your help. |

Re: Help... Need Measurement
Thank you for that measurement. So, even if I remove the cross brace, my 1-2/2" square tube wont clear.
That's to the bottom of "ribs" correct? |

Re: Help... Need Measurement
Correct, the factory cross brace is small above the axle. Might have to mount your part under top frame flange.

Re: Help... Need Measurement
I don't really want to re-do, but it sounds like I might have to. I was hoping to have more room, in between if I removed the cross brace, but it seems it will only be that 7/8".
I apologize, and just to confirm we are talking about the same spot on the bed. Are you measuring to point "A" or point "B"? Last edited by Pro Performance; 07-25-2011 at 04:08 PM. |
