I have a stock 2001 F-150 shortbed that I am building a new flatbed for and I had a couple questions you guys might have an answer for.
The first question is how much travel on the rear wheels do I need to allow for? I will be putting helper airbags on the truck so squatting from heavy loads shouldn't be much of a problem... just the normal travel from hitting bumps.
I would like to extend the frame about 18" so I can move the bumper out and put an 8' bed on the truck. Are there bolt-on kits to do this? If so, where can I find one?
Thanks.
