    You should buy a long bed. I have no idea how people get use out of trucks with a 5ft bed. Plus they look disproportionate.

    You have to buy a new truck. Would cost more than the truck is worth to buy a whole new frame and do a swap.

    You want to know the fastest way to dent the shit out of your tailgate?

    Drive with it down.

    How did you secure the bike down? factors D rings or do you have something else hiding in the bed?

    Two tie down straps, one on each handle bar and down to the D rings in the bed of the truck.

    Too few to list.
    I think DC long beds looks good with a minimum of 2.5" lift and 285's. Anything less looks just like it's super long.

    Get yourself an AC....

    You get a long bed, and an excuse to never have to drive your friends around.

    Long beds just look so much better. Short beds look like their manhood has been snipped

    That was my thinking. Only reason I got an AC over regular cab was to have stowage behind seats for day to day use. Also AC come with a few more options than standard.
