    I was just thinking a minute ago, if you traditional body drop the cab, what does that mean for the bed?!

    Well if you want to keep the stock bed floor you can traditional bd the bed also. It might be easier to drill out the spot welds for the inner fenders and then do it. Or you can make a full sheetmetal bad floor. I kinda like the idea of having a stock floor but at a shallow depth. When you raise the bed floor like that you must use spacers between the floor and the frame mounting locations. Unless you are making an entire custom frame then you can build the mounts at the right height. Search around you will find people building frames for bed floors and using sheetmetal. You will find people cutting holes in the bed. And there is a writeup by minitruckin magazine check these out

    And this one is neat because it shows how to bd your bed before you do the cab!

    I am ready to order my bags, and Cando has the re6 for pretty cheep but instead of just saying re6 and re7, it says re6" and re7". These are the same as re6 and re7 right?vThey should be the same height..

    i'm not sure what you're seeing on cando's site.

    i went to bags and it lists the re6 and re7

    for some reason the url never changes when looking at the site for me so put this into the search box and it'll pull up what you need

    CD-SLAMRE6

    CD-SLAMRE7


    or get em here for less $$, but probably more shipping

    re6= 6" bag

    re7= 7" bag

    Yeah I know they are cheaper but I ordered my frame bitch and bag brackets from cando with just one bag for mocking everything up in the meantime. My next check will allow me to get a second one.
