Edited: 9/6/2009 3:56:38 PM by twisted yota

how are you guys doing the truck bed when bagging for wheel clearence ?
 
My truck is body dropped and we just set the bed on and having problems with the wheel hitting
when  I lay it out. are you using new wheel tubs or extending the factory ones or just cut it all  out?
my floor bed is still stock .
 
any help would be great.

Cut it, raise it, and weld it back up.  Oh, and make some spacers!     

you have to cut out the wheel wells, or do like the one pictured above and raise the stock ugly factory stuff up to give clearance.   depending on the wheel offset, when aired out, the outside fo the tire could hit the bed sides. not a big deal, but will burn off any paint or primer it rubs on when dragging.   http://ifitsgotwheels.com/thumbs/b100.html" border="0" alt="" /> http://ifitsgotwheels.com/thumbs/thumbs_images/b122.jpg http://ifitsgotwheels.com/thumbs/thumbs_images/b136.jpg  http://ifitsgotwheels.com/thumbs/thumbs_images/b91.jpg   you can see the primered area on the bedside that would burn off on one of these pics.. 

PIMP TACO.....are your inside bedsides bolted in?  thats way mine were. they have like a bolt in bedside for inside that looks like that.  just curious...

guys thank you for the input. im going to run a 17 or 18 " wheel what offset should i go with a 35mm or something else? and pimptaco  what did you do with the pc. between the fender well and the body its like 2" wide?

i found it easier to just rebuild the whole damn bed floor & wheel tubs at the same time...your call though. 

corey your truck looks sweet bro and i like the whole  bed deal it looks nice and smooth ,is your tank under the bed ? and what size and off set wheel you running
