    Not just the back but where the kickup is to the bed or skinning that area to thicken up the frame which the latter would be easier.

    On a side not to all this frame flex talk funny cars and top fuel dragsters solid mount their diff to the chassis and engineer chassis flex to act as suspension. This doesn't adhere well to offroading or other forms of motorsports bc you want the suspension doing the work not the chassis. So stiffening our frames up to make the suspension work better isn't a bad thing at all.

    That's what seems to be happening with archive garage hammer hangers. People who install them note an improvement in ride quality, and it's because it makes the mount more rigid so the suspension can do it's job.

    Don't forget that frames a made to torn a bit too. Having it too stiff can make it break somewhere else where it wasn't design to flex. In case of Ford, they flex and sag too much, don't start me on this haha i'd say I rather have a more stiff frame and less good comfort for better load capacity than a super flexy ford F-250 that sag when you put a bag of deer feed in :rofl:but thats my opinion lol

    @Mobtown Offroad actually I'll be pulling my drawers when I come to the shop next week so I can fit the bumper in the bed. We can take a look at it then.

    I split wood like this, easier and safer, especially when alone. Hatchet dense log.
    I dabble. Pulled up carpet in all the bedrooms at my sisters house and at laying pergo flooring.

    You can’t afford me. :)

    I’ll be pulling the carpet up on my stairs and doing finished flooring soon. Then replace the carpet on the second floor. First floor is wood and ceramic already. I like carpet in bedrooms.

    Skip to 2:20 for the good shit. Well this is cool. These are called tension control bolts and are used in iron working, like building sky scrapers and shit. When the bolt is properly torqued down the end rips off. This way you know it's done right and there are no missed bolts.
