Well I spent 3hrs today working on my frame. I drove it over to the car wash and cleaned teh frame then started getting ready to slice and dice.
I started by setting it up on jack stands on a level area of teh driveway out side my shop. I ended up needing a few more inches in height under the cab so I placed two of my stands up on a 4x6x3/8" tube and welded the stands to it. My big stands are holding up my rock crawler while my buddy barrows my 37"s for some snow runs.
Then I removed the extra bed mount and unbolted the rear cab mounts. Then I lifted the rear of the cab about 1/2" above the rear mount and placed a 2x4 between the frame and body. It shouold be far enough forward to be out of the cut and weld area. I then re-layed out the rear cab mounts 12" back so when the frame is welded back together I won't have to do it all under the truck. I drill it all out for 7/16 bolts and added a bolt to the top cross member hole were the bed mount was.
