With age comes the cage
Colo River Ram
if you can...do you know what grade of steel you use? 33k 50k?
i got to keep the weight down because i tow my track loader, and carry buckets, tools etc you know how it goes. my ram5500 is 18750, not 19500, 26k as you know total. so what goes in the bed comes out of net weight i can
haul. sorry for all the questions.
but, like Dodgeguy71 warned i don't want to have to many of those "oh, cruds or ooopes."
appreciate it

there are free liveable states like texas, new mexico (my second home), colorado, nevada, etc.
then there is CA the worst of 50 states for personal freedom to live and use your own common sense. there isn't a day goes by out here that a new law to take what little we have left away isn't proposed.

Custom body attachment
Hmmmm I am thinking of going with 3x4 tube for the sub frame? With about and inch or rubber to obsorb the vibration, flex of the truck? I have about 12 3/4" to make up to match the body lines. With 6x 1/2" flat to the sides of the two frames. I have to get an engineers stamp on what I come up with.
