Re: Make it handle

Rob, Is there any gain to mounting bags/coils towards the end of the axle tubes (as close to the wheel as safe)? Along the same lines, the factory frame rails widen at the rearend. If I built a back-half would it be worth the effort to widen the rails from the cab to over the rearend or just keep them in line with the portion that is under the cab? Is 2" x 4" x 0.120" steel tube strong enough for a frame? I would plate any joints internally or externally with 1/8" steel. Thanx again, Jamison
