Awesome! Thanks a million. If you had 2k in the bed with no rubbing I should be fine. I'm sure it made the *** sag more than an inch so fingers crossed. Truck will be home this pm! And if you don't mind me asking. What size drop hitch are you running. I'm pretty sure the 8" I have on there will now be useless.

I see where that one has a 5000 GTW pound capacity. My boat weighs 7300 loaded. Should I go a little more heavy duty or will this guy work? Thanks again for all your help bud.

Down here we call that stance "motor boatin" and most try to avoid it.

Seriously, if you tow that is only going to be more pronounced.

looks good, but damn man, you need to polish those wheels or plasti dip them black!

you can hide the gap with some thin 1/8" thick rubber. just cut it to the size you need.

Oh yeah me the rims and my powerball have a date tomorrow. But I love plastidip and I'm probably doing the tb's rims tomo I might just do the truck at the same time. Where can I purchase said rubber?

looks good
For the gap you could buy the gapgaurds from PA, i have yet to do that though and will probly just use 1/8 rubber as str8t said.

For the hitch, if its not rated for your boat i would find another one, they have adjustables in other ratings i think.
