Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!

Man AWESOME C50! I'm currently building a wedge bed truck and my Hodge Wedge bed has the 4 ratchet chain hold down things that are welded to the bed diamond deck. Can you post some pics of your FLUSH mounted ones ( mine are a tripping hazard) . I sure would like to cut holes in my deck floor and flush mount mine.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
