hey, thanks alot man. i appreciate it. those pics are helpful. once i wrap up my mini i wanna get my dually and start on it. im unsure of what route i wanna go yet. ive debated on just bagging it on 22s, then i thought about bagging on 24s. im not sure bout stock flooring her though. i hate having to cut up that nice clean floor.haha . so, for your opinion if you dont mind me asking, whats fully entailed with just bagging a square on 22s and 24s ? if i run 24s can i keep my ac, or maybe have to relocate it ? so, more less just wondering what i may need to trim,cut,move ect.. haha im sure these questions been asked million times but its ok. thanks again man

ok guys not alot of progress over the last several months but ive been wide open this weekend making alittle progress...got me a new longbed a few months ago and its just been sittin....also went to the junkyard saturday morning and picked me up a new core support since mine was bad rusty at bottom....40 bucks in almost perfect shape...score...on my previous bed we unbolted the floor and raised it up 4 inches and stitch welded it back in on inside of bed....never liked the look of it with all those welds so i did it differant this time...in order for my wheeltubs to be flush with the bottom of the bedlip floor needed to be raised 7 1/4 inches...so thats how far i went and built 3 1/4 inch spacers and bolted my bed floor back in from bottom like stock...looks alot cleaner to me but i still had to cut a hole for my notches since there so tall...but thats as far as i got this weekend...it started raining today and i didnt wanna get soaked tryin to get my truck from one shelter to th eother today so ill mount the bed back up soon and get some pics for you guys...sorry for the novel lol
heres my raised bed floor befor ei cut hole for notches

heres how i bolted it back together...actually used stock bolts just bought a pack of nuts at Lowes and bolted it up...used sheetmetal screws to hold it in place while i drilled new holes...also notice i cut off the 7 inches of excess bedside that woulda hung down

heres my 3 1/4 inch spacer all welded up....i used a old bed bolt to make sure they were lined up straight before welding it up
