what made the old setup bad as far as load?
It rode fine the whole 200 ish miles that i drove it. I ended up putting the crew cab on my X cab frame and shortening the bed like a newer 5.5 style trucks. I put overload bags on it and it rides great. Im in the middle of doing a 6.0 4l80 conversion in it now..

I scrapped the old grafted frame idea because it was going to be my tow pig and i had the perfect setup with the other truck.
