A picture needed of underside of the bed with Rear Hanger and Shackle Kits

I have seen the pic somewhere but cannot find it anymore.
I would need to see where to cut the bed "crossmembers" to make it fit onto the frame after Rear Hanger and Shackle Kit installation.

Anyone?

Thanks.

I installed a DJM 4 inch shackle/hanger drop. I have not put the bed on it yet. I checked and the shackles are over the frame. Do you think I will need to cut my bed?

As far as I understand.. Yes, you need to cut it up.
Someone who really knows could answer to that right now. Or if you wanna wait like a week I will tell you for sure, after I have put the bed back onto the frame.

I think you will have to as well, but your instructions should be able to clarify this. You could just measure where they are at in relation to where the cross sill is...that should give you a good clue.
