Hey
Well i got the bed on the truck, let me tell you i think the next time i`ll call people to help me out.I did it VERY GENTLY with a floor jack and a couple of blocks of wood.Raised the rear, removed the 2x4s and slid them out and stuck 2x4 blocks under it to support it on the frame as i did the front.Then took out the 2x4 and saw horses and gently lowered it onto the frame, repositioned the bed, slid the bolts in and done!!!!I also got the new braided rear brakes lines installed.But as i looked at it , the front sits to high, now i need to pull the front end apart, cut a 1/2 of a coil out, n while its apart everything will get powdercoated and reinstalled, .But i think the front end will take a lil time but it will be done before december.Right now just dealing w/ family issues so gonna do it as cost spairngly as possible.I dont like the spray can look, i want it right.

thanks
pat
