Your body mounts need to physically be closer to the ground compared to what they were on the stock frame. I would use 2x3 3/16" wall. The rear cab mounts are a lot higher than the front, so a mini kick up under the cab might be a good idea, but not necessary. Hope that helps.

lol im not gonna yota clip it....i considered it in the beggining but the front end work is already done...the bags arent mounted on the beams or radius arms, its a cantilever setup so untucking is covered...i may even juice it i havent decided tho...is there anything else i need to know such as tubbin the firewall, motor mounts, core support, anything literally...does anyone know how much the rearend needs to be which way cuz im pretty sure my truck is supposed to be off to one side

its 2 inches off center to the passenger side, so the drivers side is longer(u can narrow it 2 inches by using another pass. side axle and cut 2inches out of the drivers side tube and not have to buy axles)i had 5 in offset 20s on the rear of mine and the tires rubbed the bodyline,225/35 20 was the size. if your hard up on keeping beams, put the bags in and measure max lift, then subtract 3 inches and see if you will be able to turn. you may even have to Z it a lil depending on were u put the 2x3.

ok cool...also, if i use 2x3 from the firewall back will it lay rocker? or am i gonna have to do a combo of stock floor with 2x3 and traditional?...id like to just use 2x3 and cut the factory body mounts off the factory frame and weld them on to the new frame
