Magnethead I dont think the bars are cranked thats about how high my truck sits and I know mine arent cranked
really? I didn't realize thewd's were that high. Can't wait till i get V springs, I'm tired of beating out my fenders with the mallet

And I agree, drop in liners are bad, rust out the bed

Yeah they sit pretty high at least mine does. Yeah I had to chop out part of my bed and weld in a new piece.

my old truck had a drop in liner and it was bullet proof (but the bed was probably rusted). i like being able to just throw things in there. my D has a spray on thats probally as old as the truck. and now its faded and the red is starting to show. the drop in ones last longer then the truck imo.
