Chop the front 2 feet out of the bed...cut 2 feet out of the frame, re-weld that back together then shorten the driveshaft 2 feet and you're set.

Strangely enough, I think it's easier to back our trucks into certain situations. Like I backed mine around my house no problem, but then I had to pull out forward, and I had a hard time doing it. I mean technically if you can back in, you can pull out, but it just seems easier to point the rear where it needs to go for some reason.

the turning raidus of our trucks are pretty good...in a turn lane doing a u-turn i end about halfway in each lane (on a 2 lane road). before i was lifted on my 38's...i could pull fine into the furthest inside lane...
