The only way for that body to move is if the frame moves, the forces from the suspension flexing are bending the frame. This is a very common picture of about any frame made in the 80's to in some cases early 90's

it is a very good pic, and nice truck...but yes those model trucks are bad about "frame flex" only way to fix that is box part of the frame, or add more supports

Hey guys.. I'm glad you like the pic. This was the first time I had ever gotten out of the truck to see how much it was flexing. I too was suprised to see that the bed of the truck was about 3" lower than cab. We don't get much rain here so alot of muddin is out of the question, so rocks are what we play on around here. I might have to look into boxing the frame. thanks for the idea.

First fit of the 38.5 Ground Hawgs. They're strictly for wheelin' since they literally make the truck hop up and down if I touch 40mph with them, due to no balancing whatsoever. Going to be just driving to the trails with my 33's then putting the 38's on when I get there to be safe. Pain in the ***, but for 70 bucks for the set of Ground Hawgs already mounted on rims, can't beat it.

Only have a 4 inch suspension lift, and Bushwacker cut out flares. Didn't really have a chance to flex at all with them, but the only rubbing I got was when parking lot turning (and a hell of a lot of rubbing at that).
The dirt/mud on there in these pictures is from previous wheelin' trips with the 33's, and my laziness to ever wash the damn thing.
