Well, I have a flairside 4x4 and do a little extreme off-road and my truck flexes so much that the box scratches the cab!

Does any one have this experience too?

I have seen it before on a truck, but not on mine yet, haven't really put the truck into that big a a twist yet to worry about it. Might be coming soon though, if I can get out of town one of these weekends, and do a little wheelin'.
Just my two cents!!!

 

eph1, yep got the scratch and dent sale too. But, since the bedsides are fiberglass, if I ever get mine repainted, I'll have to file or sand that part of the bed down to not let it happen anymore. Sucked the first time, I'm used to it now. Keep on wheelin.....

I have put mine through everything and haven't hurt a thing. Is it possible that some frames are somehow stiffer?
