Jester Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 It's Canadian for I'm finally speechless. 6 inch body lift is waaaaayyyyy too much leverage on the bolts. I don't care what grade they are. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 6 bolts for the cab and 8 to 10 for the box so it's well supported. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Where's the pics? Here's mine. It's only on 35"s TTIWWOP What's that mean It's Canadian for I'm finally speechless. 6 inch body lift is waaaaayyyyy too much leverage on the bolts. I don't care what grade they are. I thought 2" was too much on mine. I left them cause Jeff made me feel bad as he spent a night machining them all. At least the are solid metal. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I used 4" pressure treated posts on the cab. Still on there. Quote Link to comment

I have AC stuff but I would need a KA pump to run it. Still no pics WTF? :fu: Quote Link to comment

Maybe you Canadians don't know how to wheel. That shit would NOT last were Steve plays and it sure as hell wouldn't last one trip to Tillimook. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 very possible. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Wouldn't last but you can bet someone is trying it. You'd also be amazed at some of the, uhh, creativity on some of the rigs I see out there. :lol: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 The cab sits on two lengths of pressure treated 4x4" lumber on each side. The plan was to replace it later but after 10 years... shrug, and I'm done with it now. It's just sitting. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Thats actually how they do cargo boxes on cab and chassis trucks. I've seem them done the wrong way so many times I instantly picture it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment
