Hmm, cool.. and a question.

Finally got around to rotating my tires this evening after work, was running 32's in the back and close to 31's in the front. The truck had a definate rake stance, some people thought I had lowered it in the front but not in the back. Now it sits a lot more level - still has a rake, but it looks a lot better.

However, you can now tell my bed is lopsided. The back right corner is sitting lower than the rest of the bed.. it looks really funny. I felt up around the bed supports (mounts?), and that right rear one does feel collapsed. I've been wanting to take the bed off to fix rust, so this gives me another reason. Are these bed mounts replaceable? It felt like it was welded or maybe riveted to the frame. Heck, don't even know if they sell these things anymore, might just have to put a block under it to make it level. Sure looks like crap, though..

So, fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls...
Then gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all!

Patrick...they are replaceable and readily available from WES, GMC Paul or any number of vendors that frequent the board. And it new rubber mounts don't do the trick...shims always work.

Rubber pads? There are supposed to be rubber pads? Bahah, that's probably why my bed is so loud going over bumps..

Now that I look under there again, I'm not quite sure why it's sitting low at that corner. I guess I'll get the rubber pads and take off the bed, and go from there.. thanks.
