i need some thought and ideas for my bed please
well ever since i put in the c notches and the blocks under my axles now i have the problem of the rearend hitting the wood floor. Im sure i could just use shorted blocks or adjust the bump stops but i really like the stance my truck has now. What do you guys think of cutting out a small section for the diff to pop thru the few inches it might need? any one else have some ideas?

Re: i need some thought and ideas for my bed please
hes is a very crude interpretation of what i had in my mind, the blue part is where i thought id make a frame just so it doesnt look scabby and you see the cut wood?? P.S. that black blob is supposed to be my diff

It's just a check engine lamp.

I've seen a few people do it that way. You could also raise the wood floor a few inches so you wouldn't have a hole in it. It all depends on what you like, and how far you are willing to go. Good luck. John
