Re: frame pic needed

My guess is that someone put those on to support a fifth wheel trailer mount. They sure look to be in the right location for the supports. Since there are four (two in front of the rear tire and two behind), that is the only explantion that I can come up with.

Re: frame pic needed

I would have guessed it was for extra support under a flat bed. Fifth wheel make good sense.
